Ink Painted Triangle Books

In Sunday's workshop we'll be making ink painted clay triangle folding books that can tell a visual story or simply be an interesting coloured design piece. People love to play with these as they try to make the pyramids. They could make a good Christmas stocking stuffer.

Index card or heavy paper to make a template
2 or more packages of white clay 
Cornstarch for a release 
PiƱata or Adirondack inks
