Bookbinding Week 1: Folded Books

by Susan Green April 24, 2015

Just one week until my bookbinding evening class starts! Are you coming? Bring yourself, a few pieces of silver for the tea and biscuit tin, and any interesting papers you might want to use.

We'll be looking at folded book forms in week 1, including the Turkish Map Fold, the Double Gatefold, The Accordion and the Hot Dog. We'll discuss developing their basic forms, incorporating them into other bindings and adding content to make Artist's Books. 

If you need a reminder of timings, how to get there, etc please look here. And in the meantime, check out my Pinterest to see some examples of how book artists are using these folded forms.

See you there! We start at 7 so arrive a few minutes early to get settled in.

Susan 

P.S If you missed out on the Spring course, I'm running it again in September.
