In this class we will create a flag book with an enclosure band. A flag book is a variation of an accordion fold with extra “pages” sticking out. This is a great book structure to make at home, minimal effort, maximum effect. I consider this book the gateway structure to book arts, it is the first structure many people make before diving into more complicated artist books.

These books are great for a short poem, a mosaic of a landscape, or a collage of photographs. Students are encouraged to brainstorm an idea or two for what they want their book to be about before class so we can dive right into work, that being said a lot of students come with no plan and leave with a full book! Materials and tools for binding are provided. Students will spend class folding the spine of the book, working on the tabs or “pages”, creating covers, and a band to hold it all together.

Each student will leave with a one of a kind artist book.

Max class size 6.
