Fun Folios

Did you know the word folio originates from the Renaissance and describes collections of folded papers bound together, much like today’s books?  Famous examples include Shakespeare's First Folio and The Gutenberg Bible.  In its simplest form, a folio is a collection of papers gathered together for safekeeping — similar to a scrapbook.

In this hands-on session, we’ll create Fun Folios using cardstock and patterned papers, perfect for holding treasured memories and mementos. Some materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own special supplies to personalize your folio.  Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just looking for a fun activity, join us for a creative and enjoyable experience!
