When is an Accordion not an Accordion?

Taught by Dolores Guffey

Come join us for this exploratory workshop making numerous accordion and concertina folds in various configurations and variations. We will learn how to make accurate measurements for any size of panels you may need for your project…and no, it won't be by measuring with a ruler, but rather by working with a roll of adding machine tape. We will play with adding signatures or pop-outs in between the folds and also how to convert a concertina spine to make a sewn book structure using single sheets of text and/or illustrations. There will be numerous samples of completed books using accordion folding for you to look at and examine. You are encouraged to take notes to try them on your own!
