Free Library of Philadelphia, Parkway Central
In this fast-paced workshop we will make a model of the Blizzard Book, created by book artist Hedi Kyle. This folded book structure is perfect for housing a collection of ephemera, and students will learn how to modify the structure to make books that are both playful and practical. Each participant will leave with 2-3 models and the knowledge to fold more books on their own.
