Workshops

Instructor: Tony(a) Lemos

Developed by Hedi Kyle a flag book is a type of sculptural artist book. It is a great form to display some of your artwork and art papers. Based on a simple accordion book structure, you will learn step-by-step how to create this innovative and stunning book. Its versatile structure allows you to attach drawings, photographs, text, fabric, ephemera, or other materials to the flags in an open, creative narrative. When the spine is pulled fully open, these fragmented flags assemble into a panoramic spread, accompanied by a delightful flapping sound!

Come and breathe new life into your old artwork. Gather your old prints, paintings, and photos, and let's create something new. Each student will create a unique and personal flag book.
