Split-Page Books (Online)

Schedule:
Aug 19, 2020: 6:00pm - 9:00pm (CT)

Also known as mix-and-match books, split-page books are simple, yet compelling structures that encourage lots of hands-on engagement.

In this workshop, we will examine a variety of artist-made and commercially printed examples and then make our own folded and sewn variations of split-page books. We will also discuss creating split-page books in collaboration with adults and children, and how to structure content to create cohesive books that retain the play of chance operations. Participants will also have the option to collaborate on a split-page book with other class members, to be completed after the workshop.
