Tunnel books are diorama-like scenes that can include incredible detail and dimension.
Traditionally made with hand-cut paper and illustrations, tunnel books may include a variety of media including thread, handmade paper, and other materials. Learn the history and tradition of tunnel books in this virtual workshop. Then, learn how to make them yourself! Instruction will include some lecture, examples, demonstration, and hands-on learning.
Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome. Basic knowledge of binding tools and materials is helpful.
