Registration choices: • $40 for one individual participant, age 10+ or adult. • $50 for one grown-up and one child participating together. There’s something delightful about opening a card and discovering a surprise inside. Learn how to create that moment yourself! Join book artist Lise Melhorn-Boe to explore cutting and folding techniques that turn paper into three-dimensional pop-ups. Then use what you’ve learned to create cards with your own themes, colours, drawings, and decorations. Make cards for friends, family, teachers, and anyone else you’d like to surprise. Christmas, birthdays, thank-yous, or just because: you choose the occasion. Create as many cards as time allows, and take home techniques you can use again for more cards, pop-up books, and other paper creations. Come with a younger maker and enjoy creating together, or join us on your own. Grown-ups participating with kids will learn alongside them, making it easier to continue exploring together at home.
