with Elaine Chu
Wednesday, January 31; 6–8:30pm CT
The tunnel book is a paper book structure based on an accordion fold. A set of paper panels—which can be decorated in infinite ways including collage, cut paper, found images, rubber stamps, and drawings—are layered to create a sense of depth, drama, and perspective. LED lights may be added to increase the sense of depth and drama. Instruction for this virtual workshop will include examples and step-by-step instructions for creating the tunnel book structure.

MCBA offers two scholarship types for workshops—Financial Hardship Scholarships and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Scholarships—to honor equity and increase access and artistic opportunities for those who have historically been underrepresented in the book arts. For individuals to whom these scholarships do not apply, register at the Adult rate and, if you are able, consider making a donation when registering to support MCBA’s efforts to make scholarships available.
