Venue: UC Teece Museum
In this creative workshop we will take inspiration from the artefacts in the UC Teece Museum and design our own books full of surprising design features. Learn how to create fold-outs, lift flaps, and cut-outs to your own accordion hard-cover book. Participants will use these techniques to tell their own tales through words and images.
