Participants made a simple concertina book (10 x 10cm) designed for special text or images. Bringing along their favourite short poem, prose, images or even a family recipe to be scribed onto the book.

The class began by learning to fold sheets of paper accurately. Then making a mock-up of the book by arranging the text and/or images, before making the final piece. Finally, attaching a cover. Morning tea and all materials were supplied.
