About this WorkshopIn the first class, students will learn how to make a tunnel book, using a modified structure based on designs by Andrea Dezso. In the second class, students will expand on the Tunnel Book to create a larger and fully collapsible toy theatre that can be used with paper dolls. We’ll make panels like a traditional stage set backdrop.
About the InstructorKen Gerleve is an interdisciplinary artist who uses narrative and image to tell stories, which are often darkly humorous. His artwork juxtaposes the traditional elements of the Gothic with contemporary culture. This can take the form of an illustrated book of original verse narrative, animation, puppet building and performance, or installation. He often uses Scherenschnitte, or paper-cutting, and dimensional book structures, like Tunnel and Carousel books, to create sculptural scenes reminiscent of the silhouette animations of Lotte Reiniger. Ken earned an MFA in Interdisciplinary Book and Paper Arts from Columbia College Chicago.
