Join instructor Charlene Asato for “A-Mazing Triangles” at Volcano Art Center on Saturday, April 2, from 9am – noon. Cost for this workshop is $35 or $32 for VAC members plus a $10 supply fee.

Can a book be more than pages full of words? With imagination and some triangle know how you can create an A-Mazing Triangle book. After all, isn’t any good picture or book worth a thousand words?

Attendees of the “A-Mazing Triangle Workshop” will spend the morning creating triangular books. They’ll also learn different ways to turn a single piece of paper into triangular pages. Students will also get to explore various maze patterns that result in remarkable sculpture books. Bookbinding experience is not necessary.
