About the event
$90 members/ $100 non-members for two part workshop. Price is for both book arts classes on July 12 & July 19 full or partial scholarship available upon request.
In this 2-hour workshop students will learn some basic bookbinding skills and create their own decorative flag book. A flag book is a sculptural artist book based on a simple accordion book. Decorative papers are glued to the sides of the accordion and stick out like flags, thereby giving the book structure it’s name. Not only is this book an interesting and innovative means of creative expression, it is a great structure to display small drawings, collage, photographs, poems and more. If a student has taken the paper making workshop at the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center, the paper made will be a great decorative addition for the “flags” of the book. All materials and instruction are provided.
