CLASS: Make a Tunnel Book

This is a two session class - Wednesday, June 6 and Wednesday, 20th from 6:30- 8:30pm.

Tuition: $50.
This class is recommended for those 16 and older. Tuition includes instruction sessions, an xacto blade, archival adhesive glue, hard-bound backing for the covers and decorative papers for the sides of the book. Participants are responsible for the materials required to create the inside contents of the book. 

What is a tunnel book?
Tunnel books are a type of 3D 'pop up' book, in which the book contents are made of pictures, not words.
CLASS 1: Participants will learn how to create the shell/ casing of the book.
During the two week break between classes, participants are asked to create their own cut out and assembled pages for the interior contents of the book.
CLASS 2: Katie will explain and demonstrate proper procedures for assembling the book to ensure the book opens and closes properly.

Katie taught our last bookmaking class at the Depo, and she is an exceptional teacher. It is our pleasure to offer this class to the community.
