In person class! It’s through Myrtle Press, hosted at Verge. You will have to follow Covid protocol.

The carousel book form was popularized in the 1920s and 1930s as children’s books. In this online 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. We will complete this process in two sessions.
