A Bookmaking Project You Actually Have Time For

| December 31, 2013

My favorite art education professor (from undergrad) was actually a bookmaker, so I had a chance to dive deep into this medium in college.  I dreamed of making beautiful books with my students, but once I stepped into the classroom I had trouble finding appropriate bookmaking activities that didn’t take too much time. In this video, I will talk about one of my favorite quick book making projects: The Accordion Book.
