Alice teaches a class on the panorama concertina, designed by Hedi Kyle, an accordion book with a series of floating panels. The center of each panel is cut and folded to allow for movement. Using a hevy paper, Rives BFK, we will start by creating a relief printed surface with colored paste for our pages. Artwork for the panels can be made in class using mylar stencils or rubber stamps, or can be photos, drawings or prints that you bring with you. A quick writing exercise will help generate ideas. Your book will have four front panels and four back panels-each 3 1/2" by 5", perfect for a short narrative. We will make cloth covered boards with an inlaid design motif for our covers to finish our books.
