Description
Artist books are created from a different perspective. It’s also a great way to make something ordinary into a unique and personal keepsake. These books contain more exposed and flexible bindings and the pages fan out in a unique way. Concertina with tabs, twist folding, and double folding are the main techniques we will learn. These techniques, and some others, will allow the students to have some knowledge of special
papers, glues, folding techniques, and a decorative cover.
