About this event

All Day –

Cliffe Castle Museum

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.
