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

During this class you will learn not only the better known Turkish Map-Fold but also the Hungarian Map-Fold!

If you are old like me you may remember these awesome Turkish map-folds used for City pocket maps when traveling. Who did not get one of those maps while visiting Rome? And yes, it is still the Turkish map fold even though we are in Italy. And did you know that there was a Hungarian Map-fold, too? It is not really used for maps though… but nevertheless it is a great fold for your artist books or mail art.

We will play around with different sizes of paper, how to connect the folds to make infinite long map folds become a garland, and how to make a cover and have two folds facing each other.

>> Prerequisite: None <<

Materials to Bring: None. All tools and materials will be provided. Students are also welcome to bring any of their own favorite bookbinding tools.

Bettina lives in San Francisco and works as both a book artist and a letterpress printer with Kim Vanderheiden at Painted Tongue Studios, Oakland, California.

Past Student Reviews:

“It was relaxed, no pressure, everyone worked at their own pace, everyone in the class was friendly, Bettina's instruction was clear and helpful and she was generous with materials and I learned a lot.”

“Bettina was great and informative. She helped me a lot when I didn’t understand the steps. Or was patient with repeating what I couldn’t hear.”

“It got me interested in book arts for sure! Will look into more workshops for the future. Thank you!!”
