Library to Host Flip Book Making Workshop

The Tompkins County Public Library and the Ithaca Motion Picture Project will host “Flip Book Flap,” a flip book workshop for families, Saturday, October 15 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.

Facilitated by artist Craig Mains, this workshop will provide step-by-step instructions and materials for making flip books. Flip books are a primitive form of animation which use gradually progressing images to simulate motion or movement.

This program is free and open to families with children ages 6 and up. Parents or caregivers must be present.

Mains is the exhibit and publication designer for The Ink Shop Printmaking Center. He received a BFA in photography from Cleveland Institute of Art and studied printmaking while working for the main research library at Cornell University.
