Verge Center for the Arts

This is a bookmaking class teaching different variations of the accordion style. The accordion is a flexible book structure with many possibilities. In this 3 hour class, we'll learn the proper way to fold an accordion. Then we’ll attach envelopes to an accordion. From there, we’ll be able to make a flag book. Last, we’ll finish up with a hard cover accordion. All materials are provided by Verge, but you are encouraged to bring collage materials, pictures, stamps, etc. to decorate your book.

WHEN: Sunday, January 21 from 10-1 PM

WHERE: Myrtle Press inside Verge Center for the Arts
