“We Write The Book” Double Signature Bookmaking Workshop at the Northridge Library!

March 26, 2025 By Debra Disman

I was thrilled to lead an “Accordion Fold Book with Pockets and Pages” workshop at the Northridge Branch Library in honor of Women’s History Month, International Women’s  Day, and Women Artists everywhere!

Participants learned to how to create a book using the accordion fold technique, how to fold pockets as part of the structure, and how to sew in pages, or “signatures“, (gatherings of folded pages) using the pamphlet stitch.

Participants also learned about ground breaking women artists Faith Ringgold, Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama , Louise Nevelson, Betye Saar,  Georgia O’Keeffe.

 

I am thrilled to work  with the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs Neighborhood Engagement Artist Residency (NEAR).  I am honored to be serving the City of Los Angeles again through the DCA.
Join us for this and other bookmaking workshops! JOIN US!

SO Much Fun and Learning, and Engagment was had by all.





Leon, age 6,  worked his idea through from conception, to color, to pattern to layering! Note that his shirt features a book, and is the samecolor primary color scheme of red, yellow and blue as his flag book, or, vica versa!


Amazing works created by participant Cathy, who began these books at a previous “WE WRITE The BOOK” workshop, and completed them at home! (Folded Fan Book Structure)
