After the March Business Meeting, OPC colleagues will come together for a book arts activity. As a group we’ll be making a flag book. Instruction will include a hand-out, filmed instruction demo, and live instruction demo --- a variety of instruction formats for a variety of learners!
Participants should gather the following materials and tools ahead of time so we can dive in:
Materials:
- A standard size greeting card (about 10” wide by 6.5” tall when open) OR a piece of letter size cardstock cut to 10”x6.5”
- A larger postcard (about7” wide by 5” tall) OR and image on heavy paper about the dimensions of a large postcard
General tools and supplies:
- bone folder
- scalpel/craft knife (scissors will do in a pinch)
- cutting mat
- straight edge
- adhesive - glue stick can work if your covers are paper but in general PVA is preferable
- waste paper for gluing on
Want to learn a little more? Attend the OPC tea time (the 15 minutes before the beginning of the OPC Business Meeting) and talk with Education & Programs co-chairs Kim and Holly!

Slapdown, by Damara Kaminecki, drawing & concept, Jeremy Schmall, text ; Sara Parkel, Mark Wagner, Amy Mees, & Cat Glennon, production, Brooklyn Artists Alliance, 2007
Miami University Preservation YouTube Video
“The Slapdown uses both the kinetic and auditory aspects of the flag-book structure to create a flurry of thwacking and smacking hands. Printed on both sides of the hands, the text assembles and reassembles in a Mad Lib of curse and cuss. Both poetry and construction evoke the dog-eat-dog tension and petty backstabbing of the cramped urban environment.” Click here for the catalog record.
