Moveable Meaning: The Continuous Flexagon


The Continuous Flexagon is a simple moveable folded structure that yields intriguing possibilities. Artist and bookbinder Ana Cordeiro will lead us through conceptualization and construction of these delightful contraptions. Loungers will incorporate found text and pressure printing on the Vandercook to create flexagons that might contain multiple meanings, hidden messages, or even secret Valentine's signals. Bring along several words of found text, and ideas for interesting impressions: lace, string, or other flat and flexible texture-making items.

$10 suggested donation/ $5 CBA members
