How to Develop Ideas into Books While Folding an Accordian Book
Workshop Kazumi Wilds
Have you ever wanted to make a picture book but couldn't think of a perfect story, or started one but couldn't complete it? Learn about the history of accordion books, which were introduced from China to Japan. Participants will work with folding paper to learn its features, while thinking about the kind of image that would suit the structure. Are there any designs that readers can enjoy the changes and development of as they read the book?
