Variations
on the Accordion
Versatile and adaptable, concertina or accordion style
book structures lend themselves to so much more. We will 'play' with and investigate variations using these structures.
A style or structure that can be woven together, layered as a tunnel book, sewn as a coptic, and more. The linear
progression of a story line or imagery is favored by adults and children alike, yet it can be appreciated for the simple alluring
structural design alone. Paper choices/options will be provided upon registration. Previous bookmaking experience recommended,
no specialized tools required to continue your 'play' at home. If you already have any of the items in the Basic Tool Kit,
please bring. Sat. May 11, 1 - 4 p.m. $75/$10 materials

It
just sounds difficult, not really so hard, but it gives you bragging rights! You will be sure to impress your friends
or family with your bookmaking skills when you show them this creation. An exposed stitching design on the spine of
the book resembles a herringbone pattern. This book is designed to lie flat when open which allows for ease in drawing
or writing. Makes a great gift! Previous book making is recommended, but not required. Minimal supplies are necessary
to continue making beautiful books at home. Thurs. May 30, 12:30 - 4:30 p.m.

| Edna `Kunkel |
Edna M. Kunkel I am most content capturing elements of flora and fauna, and thrive on the principles of
complimentary colors and color harmony and use them to interpret the world in pastel, digital photography, or any variety
of media. While my left brain continues to offer logical solutions to the management of my artistic projects, my right brain
derails those plans by conjuring infinite permutations to interpret. This vacillation suits my photographic eye, my dexterous
hands, and my thirst for unique. I picked up art and photography training in academic settings at Carnegie-Mellon University,
Nashville State Technical Institute, and Illinois Institute of the Arts and through workshops and self-exploration.
