Living Library: Blank Pages

Before one can put pen to paper, they need some paper!  Tuesday is our first full day of building after the initial planning stage. It's really exciting because there is so much to do and structures materialize quickly.  These structures will become the bases that we get to tinker onto, and inside of, and around, and with the rest of the week!

Every work session starts with a short discussion on the goals for those couple hours.  It is really helpful to not only have a basic structure to tinker with, but also a basic structure on how to tinker with a group.

By the afternoon there are several Upside-Down walls ready to be assembled into a cube, a Homework Machine frame with desk and chair, and two Pop-Up pages with several prototype paper pop-ups ready to be created in wood!!!
