Class Description: Create a one of a kind “landscape” accordion fold book, 30″ long by 5 3/4″wide with Ronna Leon. Your image will be printed as a continuous strip, a mono-print, trace or freely made with brayers, stencils, stamps in printer’s ink. Cover Boards and Papers will also be provided. Instructions on how to accurately fold and bind your book will be given so that once your print is dry you can do the final assembly at home. You will also go home with a completed model of the book you are making. Simple accordian fold books are one of the most useful book structures and offer endless possibilities to printmakers and artists working in other mediums.
