Tunnel Books Workshop at The V&A Museum

I will be running a one-day workshop at The V&A Museum on Saturday 3rd September. 

Using a variety of paper and paper crafting techniques, you will learn how to plan, design and make your own tunnel book inspired by the V&A’s collection.

In preparation for an upcoming workshop at the V&A (details to come soon), 

I visited the V&A's new collection of Paper Peepshows (or Tunnel Books) as they are also called. 

These wonderful peepshows in the photographs below date from 1840-1860, 

when these books were very popular as souvenirs or mementos to mark a special occasion.
