Event Details

Have you ever heard of a Victorian puzzle purse?

They’re part origami, part greeting card - originally used for love notes, keepsakes, and tokens of affection in the 18th and 19th centuries, these intricately folded designs open in a sequence of panels, revealing messages, patterns, and secret compartments.

… and Illustrator Sophie Greenspan will teach you step by step on how to make one yourself! In addition to learning the folding technique, you’ll decorate your puzzle purse with gouache paints. Each attendee will receive a take-home gouache palette and paintbrush to continue creating at home.

You bring yourself, we’ll handle the rest!
