Leporello Journals + Surface Techniques
With Mary McLeod
August 13 - 19, 2023
The term leporello refers to printed material folded into an accordion-pleat style. Also sometimes known as a concertina fold, it is a method of parallel folding with the folds alternating between front and back. The name likely comes from the manservant, Leporello, in Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni. Many leporellos are used as a way of telling a story, while others are purely visual.
Students will explore a number of mediums during the creation of their leporello book, which will take the form of a hand-sewn journal. Various surface techniques will be created using watercolor, acrylic ink/paint, a variety of inks, drawing tools, and collage. This is a class for those who want to explore a number of different techniques while playing in and with their process.
