What if you want to take a different path or want to colour just a bit outside the lines? What if you are more ready to explore photography with a twist? Then this visual storytelling course is definitely for you! In this workshop, we explore side roads and detours, both on paper and in your imagination. We will create a visual story that does not run neatly from beginning to end, but opens up like a landscape: with hatches, layers and ramifications.

Not a classic book, but a play of paper, form and image. We start with the accordion fold: a simple, versatile technique that can go in all directions. From there you will work with your own images, collages, words and sketches.

You fold, cut, slide and discover. What starts as a loose collection grows into a unique object full of unexpected connections. A book you can read differently every time.

Let your images speak, let them move. And see how your story folds, turns and unfolds.

Practical

Bring 5 to 10 images for the first session – photos, illustrations, prints or found footage – that will serve as material for your booklet. Digital files can be printed on site.

Level of experience

Level 1: this is a short introduction where you will discover if photography and visual storytelling are for you. Experience with paper folding techniques is not required. Above all, you are willing to experiment with your own images and can work autonomously.
