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

Use this visually intricate structure of opposing flaps or “flags” to create a one-of-a-kind book that showcases contrasting or cohering images and text.

This stunning structure was created by Hedi Kyle and has infinite possibilities. The book “claps” open, and pages can be read individually or all at once when the accordion spine is stretched to its full panoramic landscape. The Flag Book workshop will make this seemingly complex form easy to learn for any level of book-arts practitioner. 

>> Prerequisite: None <<

Materials to Bring:

• Personal ephemera (images and text) to be included in the book
• Students are welcome to bring any of their own favorite bookbinding tools

Date & Time: Sunday, September 29, 2024 :: 10am-5pm

Location: 375 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94103

NOTE: Please read over the SFCB Registration Policies before signing up for a class. Registration will close approximately three days prior to the start date of the workshop to allow the instructor time to prep materials for class. We recommend you not wait to register, as workshops that don't meet our minimum enrollment will be canceled, sometimes as much as a week in advance.
 

About the Instructor | Bettina Pauly (she/her)

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. She loves books and boxes both as physical objects and as containers of meaning. She is interested in a variety of folded, sewn and woven structures in which she can incorporate her printing.

Past Student Reviews:

 “Low key and pretension-free delivery of content. As a newbie, I was worried I would be completely out of my league. However, we weren't left to the lions as Bettina showed us the possibilities of the form and then let us play, explore and tinker.”

“Clear directions, examples to look at, time and space to work.”

“What I liked most about this workshop was Bettina's enthusiasm, the finished product, and the quality of instruction.”
