The carousel book form was popularized in the 1920s and 1930s as children’s books. In this course, we will construct a carousel by creating a series of “scenes” that operate like the pages of a book. First, we’ll measure and fold three accordions; then we’ll cut and collage/rubber stamps/ decorate the frames and inner pages. Finally, we’ll sew the three accordions together to complete the book. Once finished this book looks like five theater scenes from the side; from the top it looks like a star. All materials are provided by Verge, but you are encouraged to bring collage materials, pictures, stamps, etc. to decorate your book.
WHEN: Sunday, January 28, 2021 from 10-4 PM (5 hours of class time with a 1 hour lunch break)
WHERE: Myrtle Press inside Verge Center for the Arts
