Pamphlets & Concertinas: Falling Book Structure

This spine pleat binding features collapsing pamphlets. This book structure is a dynamic concertina that will wow the viewer. Sewn to ribbons and a concertina and then pamphlets, the pamphlets collapse when you are through reading them and the ribbons are pulled shut. Keith Smith describes this as an Eastern fold book known as a spine-pleat. This specific structure is based on a variation of the spine-pleat inspired by Kumi Korf’s work. “Nikki was excellent at explaining each step and helping us as needed. She was fantastic.” [What did you like about this workshop?] “Making a complicated book structure easy to learn (I'm still showing off my book to friends!)” “Nikki was delightful and enthusiastic. Her preparation was awesome, it was nice not having to bring supplies to my first class with her. Her knowledge of book arts is extensive & her artistry is exciting. All in all it was an inspiring & happy day.”
