The ancient accordion binding sits somewhere between a modern sewn book and an ancient scroll. Continous folds allow the finished object to be held in the hand and read like a book, but when fully opened, the single sheet may be several feet long and can sit on its own like a sculpture.
Join Cindy Ferrari in learning this ancient book making technique, and create your very own accordion book with hard covers!
Bring materials to supply the conent for the book - photos, images, magazine pages/stories, your own artwork etc. The accordion can be a collection of favorite things, a record of your ancestry, or a visual description of an event, place, or dream. What do you want to record or remember? Whatever you choose, this book can become a vehicle for imagination, experimentation, and play.
