Workshops

August - Calliarts - Accordion Books with Gloria Scott

Dear Members and Followers,

In August we not only have Lexie Arlington tutoring with her workshop Brush with the East, we also have Gloria Scott taking us through simple accordion books.So whether folding or brushing come join us for two Saturdays of great fun.

From simple basic folding we will create a multipurpose book, card or memento book and find ways to use up those “leftover” strips of paper.Several examples on display will present more ideas that can be explored at the November Calliart on Christmas ideas.
Beginners welcome, please advise so that we can send you a materials list.
