Kaleidoscopic workshop for kids

Published 5:18pm Friday, November 2, 2012

This unusual workshop integrates colored paper in such a way that it resembles the cut glass seen in kaleidoscopes, and just like snowflakes, no two designs will ever be the same. Verlie has been teaching this method of drawing and coloring to children and adults for 10 years and has found this to be especially useful for those who are dyslexic. Several of her works are hanging at Mott’s Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich. She was featured in the ‘Guild of American Papercutters Magazine’ in 2005 for her kaleidoscopic designs. You can see more of her work on Facebook under her Kaleidoscopic Design Fun page or on her website verliemurphy.com.

The cost of the workshop will include some materials.  A list of additional supplies will be sent out upon registration.

To register for this workshop contact Christine Mariotti at cmariotti@windstream.net or 828-859-8392.
