The flag book was first created in 1979 by renowned book artist Hede Kyle. It has become a favorite structure of book artists who want to add dimension, rhythm and movement to their work. The book is built on an accordion spine using rows of carefully cut and positioned “flags”. The structure lends itself to the use of photographs or material benefiting from repetition.
Learn how to use the “flag” concept in several different variations. Working with stamped or cut out images, decorative papers and photographs, you will have created two or three different flag prototypes by the end of the class.
