In conjunction with the exhibition Philly Comics Now: The Art of Graphic Storytelling, this constrained bookmaking workshop for artists, designers and/or writers will begin with demonstrations of inventive ways to cut and fold a single sheet of paper to create small booklets. Participants will then be introduced to the "foldy" format: a 5-page comic made using a single sheet of paper. They will make dummies and brainstorm ideas for stories and drawings that will make use of the dynamic elements of unfolding, changing scale, and forcing the reader to manipulate and navigate the final booklet. Students can work using analog or traditional tools. In this second session, first workshop attendees are invited back to critique and troubleshoot their works-in-progress and refine the projects in order to print out and share final editions. New participants are also welcome.
