Masks are no longer required for most workshops, though anyone is welcome to wear one if they wish.
 

Create a multidimensional book using interlocking accordions and a piano-hinge fastening. Using simple folding techniques we will build two paper concertinas that can be combined together to create a honeycomb structure. This can then be further developed with paper cutting techniques and pop-ups. Color, pattern, and detail will be added with inks, stamping, and collage materials.

A piano-hinge will be attached to the covers and fasten the book closed. When the pin is removed the whole piece will open out to reveal a detailed and playful design on both sides of the book. Abstract or more figurative themes adapt well to this structure. Students will be guided in how to create a sense of narrative using purely visual motifs, or wording, or both!
