Book Folding Art

Do you remember folding Readers Digest into Christmas Trees as a child? Well, in this class we will be taking the art of Book Folding to a new level!

During this class you will start with a pattern, ruler, pencil and a hard cover book and end up with a one-of-a-kind folded artwork, choosing between the word “Peace” or “Read” to create a one-of-a-kind item for book lovers that can be displayed on a bookshelf or mantel. You will learn how to measure and fold while following a pattern, be given helpful hints on how to calculate your starting page, create an accurate 90-degree angle, and how to use cutting techniques to enhance your design.
