tunnel books

Coming up next is Tunnel Books led by Lyndell.  Tunnel books are also called peepshow books.  The book is made up of a set of pages bound with two folded accordion strips on each side.
The overall effect of a tunnel book is to create the illusion of depth and perspective.  The openings in each page allow the viewer to see through the entire book to the back, and the images or calligraphy on each page work together to create a 3-dimensional scene inside.
This type of book dates from the mid 18th century and was inspired by theatrical stage sets.  Traditionally, these books were often created to commemorate special events or sold as souvenirs of tourist attractions.  The tern 'tunnel book' derives from the fact that many of these books were made to commemorate the building of the tunnel under the Thames River in London in the mid 19th century (not looking through a tunnel, as I previously thought.)
The Tunnel books that we will be making are cased into a cover board.  The cover board allows the tunnel to be displayed easily as well protecting the folded tunnel.

This workshop run by Christine was described to me as being lots of fun.  The evidence from the photos suggests that not only was it fun but very creative as well.

Angela led a great workshop on Neuland Minuscules.  Neuland is usually known as an uppercase or majuscules script.  However, Angela has devised a new script during a long plane trip. 
It was a great workshop, appreciated by all who attended.

A 'follow up' workshop was held on Sunday to consolidate the learning's from Deidre's workshop.  Calligraphers who were unable to attend Deidre's workshop were shown some of the methods of producing patterns.  A good time was had by all.
