with Keri Miki-Lani Schroeder
Wednesday, October 16; 5–8pm CT
Transform images before your very eyes! In this virtual workshop, make assorted paper toys that use transparencies and sliding panels to hide and reveal content. Make a paper flashlight to find hidden objects and a coloring book that colors itself! These fun mechanisms can be incorporated into book structures, interactive greeting cards, or party favors. Participants can design their own content or use pre-designed models.
No experience necessary. We will be cutting out shapes from paper and drawing/tracing.
All skill levels welcome

MCBA offers two scholarship types for workshops—Financial Hardship Scholarships and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Scholarships—to honor equity and increase access and artistic opportunities for those who have historically been underrepresented in the book arts. For individuals to whom these scholarships do not apply, register at the Adult rate and, if you are able, consider making a donation when registering to support MCBA’s efforts to make scholarships available.
