Gather found type, numerals, tickets, and random images to create a paper festival!
In this virtual workshop, make an easy and fun flag book structure mounted between two hard covers. First, we’ll paint the covers or wrap them with decorative paper. Then, we’ll use found typography and add a bit of collage, stars, and miscellaneous ephemera to create a dynamic structure full of type and image!
Level: Beginner. Knowledge of gluing paper to board, scoring/cutting, and finding grain of paper are helpful skills to have prior to participating.
Certificate: 3 hours, Category B or D

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.
