In The Neverending Carousel Book, students will design and construct a dynamic, rotating book structure where pages unfold in a continuous loop—like a story riding a carousel that never quite stops. Combining paper engineering with creative storytelling, participants will explore movement, repetition, and visual rhythm as each panel connects seamlessly to the next.

By the end, you’ll have a mesmerizing, hand-crafted book that spins with imagination and invites readers to jump on and ride the story again and again. All levels welcome.

Instructor: Stacy Gabriel

Stacy is a paper artist from the Twin Cities who has taught children and adults how to make books since the late 90s integrating marbling into book arts since 2016. Stacy holds the Core and Advanced Certificate in Book Arts from MCBA.
