In this creative workshop we will take inspiration from the artefacts in the UC Teece Museum and design our own books full of surprising design features. Learn how to create fold-outs, lift flaps, and cut-outs to your own accordion hard-cover book. Participants will use these techniques to tell their own tales through words and images.
