Step into the enchanting world of tunnel books, where history, art, and creativity unite to craft mesmerising three-dimensional scenes.

  • How to use essential materials, including paper, cutting tools, and adhesives

  • Step-by-step guidance on assembling layers and designing intricate, three-dimensional scenes

  • The rich history and artistry that make tunnel books so captivating

Key details:

  • No drawing skills are required. All materials will be provided, including a set of illustrations to colour yourself with watercolours or coloured pencils. You’ll take home plenty of leftovers to continue creating more books at your leisure.

  • Enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits during the session.
