Saturday, October 18; 1–2:30pm CT
Send spine-chilling Halloween greetings to your spookiest family and friends!
Each postcard in this session utilizes movable parts that breathe life (and sometimes fire!) into the featured movie monster. Using simple hand tools and a kit of pre-cut pieces, you will fold and glue your way to a completely monstrous trio in just 90 minutes. You will also learn a bit about the fundamental tools, materials, and techniques of paper engineering. Great for beginners!
Make sure you have PVA (or other strong craft glue), a bone folder, a pencil, and any other tools and materials you like to use.
Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
Certificate: 1.5 hours, Category B or C
