Capture Your Trip Through Concertina Sketchbooking

A concertina sketchbook, also known as an accordion sketchbook or laporello sketchbook, is a lovely format for capturing the moment when you're on a special trip and you would like a souvenir of that place, showcasing it all on its own.

In today's video I show you two of my favourite accordion sketchbooks, and I think you can see how they capture a tim and place in a unique way.

There are lots of ways to present such a themed book: you could stick in receipts, or sketched vignettes of the cafés you visit, or the flowers you saw...it's up to you!

Sorry about my pronounciation of French and Portuguese words throughout, I'm a bit rusty!

I'm looking forward to the next concertina sketchbooking workshops i'm conducting, in Galway (August '24), Greece (April '25) and France (August '25). Please get in touch if you'd like to know more about any of those.

And, wherever you're going, happy sketching!

Love
