About this event

This workshop is an introduction to making a folded star concertina book. In this workshop you will learn the basics of concertina and folded books and will learn folding and binding techniques you can apply to your own bookmaking. This style of bookmaking requires few specialist tools and is ideal to get into the craft.

Participants can bring their own resources to transform into a book (artwork, magazine, photos etc) otherwise materials will be provided.

This workshop is suited towards beginner book makers or those new to the concertina technique.

Jennifer Banfield is a printmaker and photographer who graduated from Newcastle University in 2020.

“My practice is focused on 'The Underground Landscape'. I work primarily in printmaking, and photography. I utilise multiple mediums to create an encompassed experience of the underground landscape, these include print, photography, drawing, sculpture, text and installation.

I have also been keen on incorporating bookmaking into my practice as it is a unique way of viewing art and prints, also the multiples and series of images together create their own narrative.”
