Three-dimensional Storytelling

“We Write the Book”: Making TUNNEL BOOKS at the Northridge Library!

October 12, 2025 By Debra Disman

I am thrilled to serve again as a 2025-26 “NEAR” Artist in Residence at the Northridge Branch Library!
This Neighborhood Engagement Artist Residency (NEAR) is supported by the wonderful City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.

On October 6th, 2025,  participants of a diverse ages and backgrounds gathered to learn how to create the TUNNEL BOOK, a three-dimensional story which moves back in space, and joyfully develop them into fanciful, whimsical and fantastical works of art.

All workshops FREE to the Public, All materials and supplies included!
