SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – Gallery at the VAULT is delighted to offer a fun workshop, “Easy Accordion Books with a Twist,” with Deborah Stuart, on Saturday, April 26, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
A favorite of handmade book artists, accordion books can be used in so many ways, and are fun to create. Their pages can close like a book with an actual cover, and open like a sculpture. In this workshop, you will learn two ways to make this structure. There will be a great assortment of papers and art tools for decorating the pages of the books you make.
No previous experience is necessary, but this would also work for those who have done some bookmaking and would like further skills. There is an accordion book created by Diane Kemble on the mantle in the Open Wall room that you can see. Yours will be your own unique style, but Kemble’s will give you the idea.
Register by Wednesday, April 19. The cost is discounted for gallery members.
