SoB Contemporary Albums

Info for the workshop

Structural album approaches

Based on Hedi Kyle’s folded paper structures, this workshop will make two contemporary albums that allow you to insert artwork, photographs, postcards, paper samples etc

The Spider Book – so called as it resembles a spider when viewed from the side, (also a bit bat like). This makes an interesting and compact alternative album, the pages vary in size so useful for different sizes of images/artwork.

The Crown Book – a larger version of The Blizzard Book. This version will hold artwork or images/postcards up to H135mm, W105mm for a single side, or a double width of 210mm. The spine cleverly accommodates folded or single sheets.

You may also want to source artwork or ephemera in advance to include in the construction.

Materials cut to size have been posted Saturday 16 Dec. If you have not received these by early Jan please get in touch, L.C@btinternet.com
