The accordion-fold manuscript is a format that bridges the gap between a traditional book and a sculptural object. This fascinating workshop begins with the history of these manuscripts before diving into the technical construction. Learn precision folding, using bone folders and professional-grade paper to create various styles of accordion folds, and then give your book a tactile, high-quality finish by constructing durable hardcovers using cardboard, felt, and artificial leather. The final result is a unique, handmade object to be proud of.
