Bookfolding Workshop

Upcycle secondhand books into art!



1.5 hours Class size 1 to 5 guests    

  $60 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Join Rachael and April to learn the art of book folding! Learn to upcycle just one of the millions of books that go to landfill each year. You will have the option to select from three patterns. You will then learn to interpret the pattern to create your very own book fold. We do not finish the book in the session (although we have had a couple of people who have!), but you will have made a very good start and have all the knowledge to complete your book at your own pace at home.
We recently opened a handmade shop in Belgrave, where we invite you to participate in a workshop with a small number of others.
As well as our own private workshops, we have taught for libraries, schools, art groups, and more.
What you'll get
Guests will take home their books to complete in their own time.
Knowledge required
This is a beginner-friendly class where you will learn the magic behind creating a book fold.
What to bring
Reading glasses if you need them!
Everything else is provided.

We are April (15) and Rachael (mum). April is an accomplished origami artist. She has been in a number of exhibitions, taught workshops for libraries, schools, art schools and private groups.
This year she was invited backstage to the Australian Wearable Art Festival (as she was too young to enter), and received a grant to attend.
We have now opened a beautiful handmade collective in the heart of Belgrave, in the Dandenong Ranges and will be teaching workshops in our own space, along with some amazing guest teachers.
