About the Workshop:
This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Jennifer Verbit.
In this workshop we will learn 5 simple techniques– pop-up, pamphlet, zig zag accordion, and a paint transfer technique. Then learn how to put it all together; plus how to add even more decorative details to your book. The class will be set up as follows, the first half of the day we will learn and play with the individual techniques, then after lunch we will bring all of our new skills together to create a large Zig Zag Accordion that will have all the “Bells and Whistles.”
This class is a day to relax and play with paper, the smallest things can leave you inspired. See you there!
