Build a pocket-sized protected accordion book with only tabs for joins.
There is no simpler or easier way to make a book than to fold an accordion. Take this process two simple, easy steps further by tucking your accordion into a soft cover and then dropping the book into a slipcase.
All you’ll need is a kit* of pre-cut pieces and a handful of simple tools—and not a lick of glue or thread. All levels are welcome.
This class is PERFECT for beginners, and anyone looking to experiment with adhesive-free joins.
*The $50 workshop fee includes a kit of all the materials you will need, which will be shipped to you prior to the workshop.
LIMITED SPACES available!
