Tiny Leather Pamphlet

In person

Cathy Reeve

This miniature leather covered pamphlet is perfect to tuck in your pock for a trip. It’s the simplest way of sewing one section of folded paper together. If you are new to making books, it’s a great way to start. If the pamphlet is old hat to you, making it with a tooled leather cover and wrapping tie closure will be a new variation. There will be plenty of opportunity to experiment with leather stamping design and because it’s miniature there should be time to make more than one pamphlet. The tuition for this class includes a fee of $6 for basic materials provided by CAW.

Introduction to Geometric Origami

In person

Rachel Davies

Amaze your friends and family with these beautiful origami artworks. By performing simple folds, you will be able to create wonderful designs based on repeated patterns rather than a known object like a crane or a flower. Origami made from colored paper gives striking patterns of light and shadow, while patterned or decorative paper provides more ornamental results. Once you've mastered the basic ideas, you will learn how to attach your pieces to cardstock to create a pop-up sculptural card. Guidance will be given to the best types of paper needed to produce your own future creations.
