Make your own books that tell unique stories through their creative shapes. In this workshop participants will create a flower fold book with a hardcover, and a sewn pamphlet book with cascading shaped pages. Explore how to tell a story using interesting and unusual book designs and be inspired by ancient stories and objects from the UC Teece Museum!
