Holiday Crafting: A Tunnel Book Adventure

Create a Magical Bok Tower Holiday Scene with Karen Esteves Step into a world of paper, perspective, and holiday magic! Join Karen Esteves for a creative tunnel book-making experience inspired by the beauty of Bok Tower. Together, we’ll transform this iconic landmark into a unique three-dimensional holiday card. Using layers of carefully cut and folded paper, we’ll build a charming winter-inspired scene that brings Bok Tower to life. Each layer will add depth, detail, and dimension, creating the illusion of looking through a tiny paper window into a festive holiday landscape. From the graceful tower and surrounding gardens to special seasonal touches, participants will have the opportunity to explore cutting, layering, composition, perspective, and three-dimensional paper design while creating a one-of-a-kind handmade holiday card. Come create, layer, and celebrate the holidays with art! Instructor Bio – Karen Esteves is an artist, educator, and book arts enthusiast.
