The Workshop

Your tutor, Alyson, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “Book folding takes many forms and uses evolving techniques that have grown in popularity over the last few years. I will demonstrate the art of book folding, which helps save books from landfill, by learning to fold a cute hedgehog in just 1 hour 30 minutes.

Once completed, Prickles can be put to work by storing your letters, displaing photo or minding those important notes. He will be just as happy as a cute ornament in your home or as a bespoke handmade gift.

In this relaxed class, suitable for beginners, you will learn how to choose and prepare a book and fold your hedgehog. Hints and tips will be given along the way.

You will be provided with everything you need to make your own decoration or unique gift”.

Creating folded book art is surprisingly simple. It’s one of those crafts that appears more complex than it really is. With some patience and determination, you can turn an ordinary book into a beautiful artistic piece.
