Refocus!

We would like to thank @MuseumsUniStA @StAndrewsUniLib @StLeonards_PGs and the Print&Design Unit for making it possible to bring this project to life! 🧵7/7

Share your folded sticker albums with us using #WardlawMuseum and #Refocus 👀♥️We can not wait to see them! This one was home-made by @LucyEyer 🧵6/7

Inspired by the folding pocket carte-de-visite album from the @StAndrewsUniLib Special Collections (tinyurl.com/foldingpocketalb…), our album shows unique works of pioneering photographers and the often underrepresented sides of both early photography and St Andrews’ history. 🧵5/7

Use this instruction to fold your album. 🧵4/7

The sticker sheet is A4. If you do not have self-adhesive paper - do not worry, glue and scissors will do! 🧵3/7

Our album (tinyurl.com/earlyphotosticke…) is designed to be A3. If you are using a professional device, simply print it double-sided on an A3 sheet. If you are using a normal one, print it double-sided on two A4’s (use the A4 pdf) and stick them together so that they form an A3. 🧵2/7

🎄👀Don't miss out on the Wardlaw Museum Christmas Fair (December 4 and 5). You can get a beautiful Early Photographic Sticker Album that we made in collaboration with @MuseumsUniStA for free! If you cannot attend, you can also make a DIY version at home. See 🧵1/7
