One sheet of paper does not make it into a book, but by folding, slitting, and cutting parts of a single page in clever ways, you can make a several-page book. In this 2-day workshop, you will learn how to use just a single sheet of paper and make books that reveal hidden treasures or that dramatically unfold into single or complex mazes.
