Box
Making: Clam Shell Box / Drop Spine Box Jackie
Hefty
Asked for by members of several bookmaking
workshops, here it is, a workshop to make a drop spine box. Based on using a conventional size of 8 1/2 x 11", we will
create a housing for papers, books and treasures. Adjustments for various sizes will be discussed for individualized future
projects. A good metal ruler, a sharp utility knife, a cutting matt and a clear head will be most important. Participants
will have the opportunity to customize the covers with commercially available materials or personalized, hand decorated options.

Book Structures: Variations on the Accordion
Jackie Hefty
Versatile and adaptable, concertina or accordion style book structures lend
themselves to so much more. We will 'play' with and investigate variations on a theme using these structures.
A style or structure that can be woven together, layered as a tunnel book, bound with a coptic stitch or played out like the
instrument it is often called by. 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 discussed. Participants
will need to purchase or use from your personal stash as appropriate. No book making experience needed, 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.
