We will begin the day looking at accordion folded books, and then making the
basics of your own folded book. This will involve measuring and
cutting your paper and then gluing pages together, depending on how long
you wish your book to be.
I will set up a still life of objects from which you can cut shapes, to help you
begin making imagery for the book.
At this point we need to start working on the pages, using screen printed
paper I will bring, and any leftover prints you have and wish to use. Also you
will have the opportunity to begin to see the book as a three dimensional
object.
Towards the end of the work shop I will show you how to make two covers
and finally fit everything together.
Materials to bring
Scalpel
Pencil
Cutting mat
Any printed papers from previous projects
Scissors
Brush for gluing
Scraps of photocopy paper
Steel ruler
Empty yogurt pot for glue
