Join respected bookbinder Avril Makula and explore the many possibilities of making books from a simple concertina fold, guaranteed to stretch your imagination and expand your creativity.
Most artists who work with paper are familiar with the concertina (or accordion) book, but the challenge – and fun – comes from taking this simple fold to the next level by playing with the form and exploring possibilities.
Combining concertina folds with stitched sections, creating different shapes, incorporating gatefolds and pop-ups and straying off the vertical are some of the many permutations worthy of experiment. Taken a step further, the humble concertina reveals a versatility and creativity which will make your books stand out from the rest.
