Unusual Accordion with Stephanie Wolff (Online)

Schedule: Jul 8, 2021 — 10am - 1pm (ET); 
9am - 12pm (CT); 8am - 11am (MT); 7am - 10am (PT);

Accordion books are most commonly rectangular, but they can be most any shape. In this workshop we’ll break from the rectangle and fold models of a spiral accordion, a triangular accordion, and a variation or two of a hexagonal accordion. We’ll discuss covers and wrapper options for these as well and make some if time allows. These forms rely on folding rather than hinging paper. Our focus will be on making models that you can use as reference for making more after the workshop. In the workshop More Unusual Accordions (June 17) three other forms will be presented: a pentagonal, an octagonal, and a circular/toroidal accordion. Each workshop is stand-alone and can be taken in any order. No advanced math is required.

Advance registration is required for all JCBA workshops. For more details or to register, please email JCBA Director John Cutrone (jcutrone@fau.edu). John will send you an email explaining how to pay your tuition online. It's a simple process.
