The Flag Book online workshop May 22 Registration and details online here: https://bookartsla.org/products/5113-the-flag-book-may-22-with-karen-hanmer The foundation of Hedi Kyle's deceptively small and simple book "flag book" structure is an accordion folded spine. Flaps attached to both sides of each of the spine’s “mountain” folds allow the artist to fragment and layer a number of complementary or contrasting images and narratives. When the flag book spine is pulled fully open, the fragmented images on the flaps come together to create a large, panoramic  image. This transformation is accompanied by a delightful flapping sound. The spine and covers provide opportunities for additional imagery. Students will construct two different styles of flag. Instruction will focus on both craft and content. This online workshop is sponsored by BOOKARTALA https://bookartsla.org/ * * * Karen Hanmer's artist-made books are physical manifestations of personal essays intertwining history, culture, politics, science, and technology. She utilizes both traditional and contemporary book structures, and the work is often playful in content or format. Hanmer's work is included in collections ranging from The British Library and the Library of Congress to Stanford University and Graceland. She offers workshops and private instruction focusing on a solid foundation in traditional binding skills.
