Making a little accordion book that fits into an upcycled tin is so satisfying. At first glance it just looks like an adorable decorated box, but on opening a marvelous handmade pop-up book is revealed.
In this class we will be using collage elements such as recycled maps, postcards, and other ephemera to create an accordion book with pop-up elements enclosed in a hard cover front and back. This will fit neatly into an embellished tin (breath mint tin size) that can display the book’s title or associated imagery.
Materials to Bring
Optional:
Ephemera and other materials to collage with

Past Student Reviews
"Stephanie created a really fun environment for creative expression and thoroughly explained and demonstrated the techniques we used in class. So fun, would love to take a class with her again.”
"I’m not always willing to try new things so I really appreciated how supportive and encouraging she was. Directions were very clear for a novice like me. I’m thrilled that I took a risk."
“Stephanie opens the door and lets you take what she gives you to play and create. She is comfortable to learn from and we got to learn a lot."
