A one to two hour workshop in which kids can make several simple bookforms, ideal for library groups or after school programs. Participants are encouraged to invent texts for their books, and, if there is enough time, a simple story can be put into one of the books.The workshops can be age-specific, or can be a mixed group of adults and their children and promoted as a family workshop. The kids are given clear instructions in correct folding and cutting of paper. Models of the books are made with fun and interesting materials, so they can use them for projects in school and at home. Some of the books we learn to make:

	Burrito Books
	Accordion fold books
	Single signature stitch books
	French fold books with pop-up elements
	Flag Books
	Caterpillar Books
	Japanese Bindings

The emphasis will be on being able to make these books with inexpensive tools and recycled materials when possible. Pre-cut materials, tools, such as scissors, stick glue, and handouts with instructions are provided. References, fees and more information available upon request.
