Cost:
Create a hardcover book with removable pages to hold drawings, articles, photos, or whatever you please. There will be lots of paper folding in this class followed by designing your own front and back cover!
The concertina book is made using continuous folds (or pleats) at the spine, and the technique is called Crown Binding. It looks like an accordion but functions like a book with the hard front and back cover holding everything in place. Pages are inserted at each pleat and can easily be moved in and out.
Bring images that you would like to use for the front and back cover of the book. Shiny, glossy pages from magazines are excellent, or you can use your own artwork or any nice paper that you have. Even wrapping paper will work! Papers should be at least 8x8” in size, or you can collage several pieces together if you wish. All other tools and supplies for this class will be provided.
