Pamphlets and Concertinas: Falling Book Structure

This book structure is a dynamic concertina that will wow the viewer. Sewn to ribbons and a concertina and then pamphlets, the pamphlets collapse when you are through reading them and the ribbons are pulled shut. Keith Smith describes this as an Eastern fold book known as a spine-pleat. This specific structure is based on a variation of the spine-pleat inspired by Kumi Korf’s work. Basic sewing skills are required for this class. All materials are provided by Verge, but you are encouraged to bring collage materials, pictures, stamps, etc. to decorate your book.

WHEN: Sunday, March 24 from 10 - 4 PM (5 hours of class time with a 1 hour lunch break)

WHERE: Myrtle Press inside Verge Center for the Arts
