Dear All, I would like to invite you to join me in the upcoming Zoom class below: Altering the Page Accordion Book The accordion book structure is a flexible form that can be adapted to many book themes, and one is the Altered Page Book. A blank page holds a lot of potential, one can alter it via folding, cutting, collaging, adding and subtracting parts, and more. Learn about sequencing, layering and folding to arrive at your pages. These in turn will be assembled to become part of an accordion book you will create with your unique designs. Do you acquire and save ephemera in your travels and daily life, do you have lots of beautiful papers and scraps that you saved for a special project, any old prints that you want to repurpose? Some favorite poems? We will use all your stored riches to collage the pages and create a new book work to store them in. This one-day, virtual workshop takes place on Zoom on Thursday, February 26th, from 1PM to 3:30PM ET - Center for Book Arts, NYC - https://shop.centerforbookarts.org/products/26spe007v Please Note: Registration for this workshop closes on February 12th, at 11:59pm Eastern Time.
