Garden-Inspired Altered
AND ACCORDION BOOKS

Explore a variety of possibilities for creating accordion and altered books. Using garden imagery as a starting point, we’ll build the base structure for our accordion books, choose color palettes and begin collaging papers onto the covers and pages. We’ll also use mixed wet and dry media, collage, and cutting tools to create the first pages of our altered books.
