Dear all, Please join me for the upcoming virtual workshop: The Flag Book: A Travel Quest - Virtual - October 14, 2025 - 1-3 pm ET For more information please visit: Center for Book Arts - https://shop.centerforbookarts.org/products/25fpe105v Originally created by Hedi Kyle, the flag book is a very exciting form, where the layered pages criss-cross each other when opening and closing, making the book a living, moving, interactive entity. The flags’ wonderful movement allow for multiple images and content. Each student will design a 3 dimensional book by using diverse collage, photos, etc. to create their own designs for the pages and the covers. A truly unique work will emerge. What adventures have you had in the past that enriched your life and art? What are your favorite places to visit? In this workshop we will be using maps, ticket stubs, ephemera, etc. from places you have visited, experienced or dreamt about them in your imagination. Collect examples of your real or imaginary journeys with maps, photos you have taken or culled from magazines, anything that speaks to you to incorporate in your collaged pages.

In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place." 1984 by George Orwell
