Description:
Books have more uses than might be obvious. You can press flowers in a heavy one or set out the eye-catching ones as decorations on a shelf. You can even read them! But have you tried turning a book into three-dimensional sculpture?
Book folding is a perfect way to repurpose old hardback books that otherwise would be destined for recycling or the land fill. It’s the art of folding the pages within books to create 3D shapes. The heart is a relatively simple one but gives you a taste of book folding. There are several different techniques. We will focus on MMF (Measure, Mark, Fold). An example of a more intricate technique involving measuring, marking, cutting, and folding will also be displayed.
