Alcohol Inks with Vera Worthington
Workshop | Available
Intro to Book Arts: The Lotus Fold
Who knew that three simple folds could yield so many possibilities? You will be
guided through all the steps to fold and assemble two beautiful, small, hard
covered books.
The first, when opened becomes a star; the second a “caterpillar.” A third, sits to hold notes,
cards or photos.(They make beautiful gifts and favors.)
The pages flatten for your, drawings, small photos, writing…we’ll explore the possibilities. You will make at least three books and the instructor will demonstrate several more variations in folding and assembly.
All supplies for this workshop will be provided by The Art Guild
