oin artist Sharon Peoples, with the Friends of the National Library, for a concertina book workshop for adults.
Participants will make a simple concertina book (10 x 10cm) designed for special text or images. Bring along your favourite short poem, prose, images or even a family recipe to be scribed onto the book.
The class will begin by learning to fold sheets of paper accurately. We will then make a mock-up of the book by arranging the text and/or images, before making the final piece. Finally, we will attach a cover. Morning tea and all materials will be supplied.
Tickets cost $35 for Friends members and $40 for general admission. Book your tickets via the National Library website.
