Get to know the tunnel book workshop at Colegio de San Ildefonso
As we mentioned, a tunnel book is an article in the form of a book with a three-dimensional image. You can choose the image that you will put together; there are two options: an image of the patio of this cultural precinct or the stained glass window called La Bienvenida.
To elaborate it and give the image of depth you will use different paper planes that will be arranged as if they were an accordion. Like the other workshops, this one takes place on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 to 15:00 hours.
El Colegio de San Ildefonso is located at Justo Sierra 16 and San Ildefonso, Centro Histórico. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00 hours. The entrance fee is $50; however, on Sundays there is free admission.
