About the Workshop:
This virtual workshop is taught by CBA instructor Shawn Sheehy.
Quick! What’s a figure of speech that involves birds? (Take another look at the workshop title if you need a little help.) This whimsical collection of moving images features nine different bird idioms; the movable mechanisms provide the clues that will help you solve the idiomatic riddles. You will build each using a simple set of hand tools and a kit of pre-cut pieces, and ultimately bind the set into a tidy book. All levels welcome; this workshop is especially friendly for beginners.
Required Tools:
- PVA or other strong craft glue
- bone folder
- pencil
