FOLDED BOOKS: versatile & exciting forms for creative projects
The first course in my 2018 bookbinding programme starts on the 25th February - why not join me as we enter a world of unusual folded book forms to inspire and express your creativity. You’ll learn to make the Hot Dog, Turkish Map, Gatefold and Lotus Flower folds as well as various Accordion - aka Concertina, Leporello - styles.
Folded forms present unique opportunities for making artist’s books, travelogues, pop-ups and keepsake books which we’ll discuss and explore together, as much as time permits. They are also ideal for self-publishing zines, flyers and brochures and we’ll explore those possibilities together, as well.
