This is an in-person workshop. As of January 2023, masks are strongly encouraged but not required unless otherwise indicated. 


Captivate readers with this dynamic structure. A seemingly simple codex – which is actually two accordions attached together – opens delightfully to reveal three hidden rooms when the center page is pulled open. Each “room” provides an intimate space for showcasing your illustrations, photographs, collages, etc. This versatile book structure is appropriate for both beginners and experienced bookmakers. 
 

>> Prerequisite: None <<

Materials to Bring:

  • Collage materials
  • Rubber stamps and stamp pads
  • Drawing pens or pencils
  • Any materials you use for markmaking
  • Your favorite bookbinding tools

Date & Time: Saturday, July 29, 2023 :: 10am-4pm

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 three days prior to the start date of the workshop to allow the instructor time to prep materials for class.
