Tuition: $250

July 7 - 9, 2018: Arrive Friday Afternoon, Depart Tuesday Morning

The goal of Triangles in Motion is to move from simple forms to more complex moving engines. We will practice flat peyote triangles, move to puff triangles and beyond. Students may create earrings, rings of triangle and shank, or Tri-Wing Rings with a belly band, flat triangle bracelets, or puff or caldera bracelets or necklaces, or tubular triangles. Enlarging with increases, decreasing to close the 3D form, creating bezels with puff triangles, or moving on to cycles – are among the options. Be prepared to be amazed at the form’s varieties, the amazingly different behaviors, the countless variations each student will create.
