About the Workshop:
This two-session workshop taught by instructor Scott McCarney introduces two album structures based on the simple and elegant concertina.
Albums are books that are designed to accommodate the addition of material without compromising the spine. In the first session students will make a lay-flat album that provides an excellent way to present photographs. The second session will be dedicated to an album made with single sheets and a piano-hinge spine that offers a variety of options for display.
This workshop is a great chance to learn two structures, perfect for the home or as presents!
Required Materials:

- metal straight edge
- UHU glue stick (or PVA glue and brush)
- 11 sheets of text weight paper
