Charlene Asato will offer a workshop, “Exploring Flag Books,” Jan. 30 at Volcano Art Center.
Created by Hedi Kyle, the flag book is one of the most popular book art structures around. The spine is accordion-folded with flags attached creating a pop-up effect when the book is opened. The “flags” can be drawings, photographs or abstract imagery. This book structure is great for creating special cards for holidays, birthdays or memoirs, or simply as a piece of art.
The workshop runs 9 a.m. to noon at VAC’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village. The cost is $32 for VAC members and $35 for nonmembers; plus a $10 materials fee. No book binding experience is necessary.
Participants are asked to bring: X-Acto craft knife with fresh No. 11 blade, cutting mat, scissors, pencil, metal edge ruler, bone folder, glue stick, old magazine or catalog for gluing. Optional: art supplies such as colored pencils, crayons, photographs for collaging, scraps of paper, scoring board, rubber stamps, or stencils.
