Paula will be teaching some new teabag models this session.
Cube-shaped Modular Box
Winter is coming! So bring a splash of color to the grey days of November by making this multi-hued creation.

Bluebeard’s Castle
Up to the ramparts! Defend the realm! Okay, there are no ramparts but there are towers and turrets. This castle is created by using several basic modules joined together by tabs. The multitude of possible configurations is limited only by your fairy tale imagination. In class, students will build a castle that is slightly less elaborate than shown, but will include two towers, a turret and roofs with flags. Keep adding to your castle when you get home! Class size limited to 10.
Family Fun - Holiday Models

No experience is necessary. For children ages 8 and up. Adults without children are also welcome!

CLASS CANCELLED
Get your hands dirty…but in a creative way of course! The class will use an interesting mix of techniques and media to create images. Media will include “ink-tense” watercolor pencils, water brushes, double tack mounting film, and fine-point markers as well as images and textures from magazines and junk mail. You can put them into a simple blintz base frame or you can create your own frames later.

So, do you want to tessellate? Let Alice show you how! She has done all the hard work for you after having attended many classes at convention on tessellations. She has come up with a way to understand the basics and will teach to how to expand your model from the center piece in a logical and easy manner.
Fractal Flower
That’s out of one piece of paper?!?!? Roman Diaz’s awesome Fractal Flower is one of the most exciting multi-sink, multi-level fractal models in recent years. It is currently unpublished except in some small distribution newsletters, so now’s the time to learn this jaw-dropper hands-on. It features several difficult gusset moves but depending on the size of paper you start out with and how nimble your fingers are, you can make as many levels as you dare!
