Tunnel Books

Presented by Lili Sharp & Christina Thomas

Nov 6, 2844 HBLL (Conservation Lab) | 10:00 a.m.–4:00p.m.

A tunnel book consists of a series of layered panels or pages, each with cutouts, that are connected by strips of paper or cloth folded accordion style. When viewed through a hole in the front cover, the panels create a scene with the illusion of depth and perspective.

Participants will create their own collaged paper cutout scenes assembled into a series of connected panels based off the structures of historic tunnel books held in the Perry Special Collections. They will also create a replica of an early Victorian tunnel book created as a commemorative souvenir for the seaside resort town of St. Leonards on Sea in Sussex, England.
