New workshop added⚡️ Tunnel Books with Janine Malaca

Do you like miniatures, books, and storytelling? Join artist/instructor Janine Malaca for this in-person workshop where you will create pieces that bring joy!

You will learn how to create stories in layers using elements cut from Chiyogami paper, and how to work within the limits of a 2 x 2.5” frame. The technical aspects of the construction have their nuances and require patience and attention to detail. While Janine guides you through each task, she shares the varied and numerous techniques, tips, and tricks she uses for cutting, gluing, and folding.
