Part of the Folger Shakespeare Library’s DIY Quarto educational resource, the DIY Quarto Virtual Printing House is an interactive tool that models the building of the 1602 “Second Quarto” printing of Hamlet. Visitors learn how early modern printers arranged pages into sheets by doing it themselves in a drag-and-drop 3D tutorial. DIY Quarto also provides an opportunity to see how quarto quires were folded through HTML5 3D animation.

DIY Quarto is a continuation of the pedagogical vision that started with DIY First Folio. Read more about DIY First Folio here.
