A Tunnel Book is a unique type of artist book in which the pages are viewed as if looking through a window, or a “tunnel” and often incorporate paper cuts. They have also been called “peepshow” books In the past they were made for souvenirs or as commemorative gifts for special events. In many cases they can be like mini paper theaters.

These structures are great for creating visual narratives , when you look into a tunnel book, you are looking through an opening into a 3D world. The book is made up of layers of pages or panels that are parallel to each other. The completed pages are attached to accordion folds or concertina binding by hinges, which allows the book to be folded up or opened up for viewing. There are several options for hard and soft covers.

In this class we will embellish our “windows” with simple embroidery!
