Come experiment with the flag book structure, both a book form and a performance. These books weave together sheets of paper, or flags, with an accordion spine to make a book that shakes, shimmies, and opens with a distinctive flapping sound, making a tapestry of images. Each student will leave with their own finished flag book.

All essential materials and tools provided. This book structure is open to all levels of experience.

A hands on experience that brings out your creativity and allows you to create one of a kind crafts and unique accessories out of beads. 

Unleash your creativity and embark on a cozy crafting journey with our “Mini Crochet Kits” workshop! A delightful, hands-on experience where you will be guided through creating a mini crochet piece with materials and instructions included.

In this drop-in style workshop, students will receive a chance to crochet their own mini keychain in about 20 minutes! If there is enough time, students can also choose to crochet a granny square and we can add it to a “VAC” tapestry to fit this year’s ARTSIDEOUT theme.

A small workshop for linoleum block printing, including a bit of theory of the medium and hand carving techniques, with a focus on application for handmade products and branding for small businesses. This medium can be approached as a highly experimental art form or it can be a handy tool for starting a new business at home (e.g. to create labels, stamp your logo, decorate packaging, etc.). It can also be a tool for creating your own patterned clothes or accessories, print your own wrapping paper or add a little pizzazz to a heartfelt letter for a loved one. In this workshop, I would aim to create a maximum of one 3” stamp per person, and explore a wide range of applications.
