Overview

Join artist Sharon Peoples, with the Friends of the National Library, for a concertina book workshop for adults.

Participants will make a simple concertina book (10 x 10cm) designed for special text or images. Bring along your favourite short poem, prose, images, or even a family recipe to be scribed onto the book.

The class will begin by learning to fold sheets of paper accurately. You will then make a mock-up of the book by arranging the text and/or images, before making the final piece. Finally, you will attach a cover. Morning tea and all materials will be supplied.

Book your tickets via the National Library website.
