RADIAL HINGE BOOK & BIMA

Our September workshop, taught by Kit Davey, provided us with a completely new structure to play with. This circular book, with pages that rotated 360 degrees, was easy to make once we were taught how the hinges work. NORBAG members can view the recording of this workshop and anyone else interested in this structure can check out Kit's website at  https://www.found-object-art.com/, to see if she might teach it again. It will be fun to see if our members use this structure in future book exchanges. Here are a few examples from the workshop.
