$15.00 – $25.00
Discover how to easily transform paper into movable and sculptural objects, which can be used for greeting cards, invitations, and art projects. All you need is paper, a few other supplies you’re likely to have on hand (including scissors, glue, pencils, and markers), and your own enthusiasm and curiosity for folding paper. During the workshop, you’ll make a card that opens like a flower, a “magic” wallet, a pop-out map, and a flexagon. Participants will receive a supplies list and detailed illustrated instructions so that they can complete each project again on their own.
Our sliding scale fee allows us to keep these programs accessible to a wide range of individuals. The ‘admirer’ option covers the cost of the instructor fee, program support, marketing, and administration. The ‘friend’ option covers all of this and allows for a small profit margin to be contributed towards sustaining Fabric of Life programming for next year. The ‘enthusiast’ option covers all of this and allows for us to begin to sustain Fabric of Life programming for generations to come.
If you would like to pay by check, please contact us at office@fabric-of-life.org so that we can be certain to reserve you a spot and to gather any details we need for communication purposes.
