Thurs 16th March 10am - 11:30am workshop demo
Thurs 30th March 10am - 11am follow up & feedback session
(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for beginners right through to those with some experience of making books. You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching this online demonstration – it is a time to watch, ask and learn.
Workshop details
Handmade books meet paper engineering in this brand-new workshop. Janina will show you how to make two related but different book structures – a piano hinge and reverse piano hinge.
The piano hinge book structure is held together by kebab sticks and clever cutting, and the reverse piano hinge by ingenious tabs which are only visible inside the book
Janina will demonstrate all the steps involved during the first live session. Students are invited to watch, but also ask any questions during the demonstration. The feedback session will give students a chance to show off their creations, and also ask any further questions.
Both of the demonstration books will be A6 in size

Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Janina will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students within thirty days of the class ending. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.
*The follow up session is not recorded to ensure that you have an opportunity to share your work with the rest of the class, and receive personal feedback, without feeling self-conscious about being recorded. We would encourage you all to join us live if you can – even if you were signed up as a ‘recording only’ participant for the workshop.
