book making with e. bond

Accordion books have been around for centuries but are often overlooked. This class explores how something as simple and unassuming as an accordion book can transform into three dramatic, sculptural artists books. The accordion form is deceptively simple, but is the foundation for all kinds of innovative, modern structures. Learn a simple accordion as the foundation, then explore how to evolve the form in three different ways: as a flag book, a tunnel book, and a carousel book. Break through the practical purpose of basic accordion form and create something unique and beautiful that elevates simplicity into art.
