Register

In this one-day workshop, students will be introduced to a simple book structure: the Accordion Style Binding, also known as the Concertina Binding.

This form is easily adapted to more complex variations. Students are encouraged to bring materials to create form and content (photographs, decorated papers, plastic, rubber, etc.) We will explore the book form as pure object and as a holder of content. Variations on the accordion structure will be introduced as time allows.
