Turkish Map Fold Books
Intriguing books that fold out into large square pages from pentagonal covers. These books open into a sculptural form that can be decorated with pictures, text or patterns. You'll learn origami skills to fold the pages and create the covers for your book insertion.
The book will be covered with your choice of Lewis & Wood patterned paper and finished with ribbon ties for closure. It will contain seven large pages of coloured, white or Lewis & Wood paper. The finished size will be 15x15cm.
2pm - 4.30pm
Concertina Books
Make an A5 book, portrait format, suitable for journaling, photographs or scrapbooking. Add pockets, sewn in extra pages, envelopes and decorate with collaged images.
Your book will be covered with your choice of Lewis & Wood patterned paper and contain multiple pages of heavyweight cartridge. It will also include ribbon ties for closure. The finished size will be 16 x 22cm.
We hope you will join us for these inspiring and creative sessions at our workshop space here in Woodchester.
The books would make lovely gifts so why not get ahead for Christmas or, of course, you can just keep them for yourself!
Refreshments are included in each session and those booking both have the option to add a delicious buffet lunch too.
