Class Description: "Why wait for spring to bring beautiful blooms into your home? Join Shawn Sheehy in building seven striking pop-up flower cards using just a few tools and a kit of pre-cut pieces. You’ll leave the workshop with a bound set of completed cards—perfect for keeping or gifting— and you'll also gain insights into paper engineering and paper sculpture. This is one of four individual wildflower workshops. Take any, or all four! All skill levels are welcome. Flowers include: pasture rose (featured), jack-in-the-pulpit (featured), trillium, violet, blanket flower, jewelweed (featured), and tulip poplar."
