Bookbinding: Accordion Book
In this Bookmaking workshop we’ll cover the basics of how to construct an Accordion Book and introduce some fun ideas for this unique method of bookmaking. An accordion book offers so many possibilities that a traditional book format can’t! Examples include panoramic images, images that can be mixed and matched by folding differently, and displaying information in a long continuous format. The possibilities are plentiful so come in with an idea or wing it with a spark during the workshop! It’s a special physical object that can be used in various ways and there’s no prior experience required.
We’ll start off by briefly introducing what an accordion book is and the advantages it can provide before launching into our guided measuring, folding, gluing, and brainstorming. Each of our individual books will have that custom hand-made touch as we also take the opportunity to get to know each other over an additional shared activity that will hopefully spark future projects!
