Folding Books Project
Tue 14 Dec 2021 - Thu 31 Mar 2022
During early 2021 Deborah Rehmat, a local artist who has frequently worked with Cliffe Castle Museum and the Cliffe Castle Support Group started a project that explored how the format of 'folding books' could inspire creativity. We’re delighted to be able to show our visitors the result of that creativity!
Each book on display has been created by folding a page of paper to form the ‘leaves’ of the books – but how each participant used the format and what size of paper differed. The result is a colourful, eclectic display of books encompassing poetry, sketching, painting and collage.
You can even pick up some premade templates from our family area to have a go yourself!
You can also download the template from our website -

We’d love to see your creations inspired by this display, so please share them with us on our socials - @BradfordMuseum on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
