Our students have a hectic school week, so on Saturdays they come down to BCAL for the yoga workshop led by our certified instructor Ira. In the workshop, they do exercises to stretch, relax and to develop focus and concentration, all the while having fun! They leave looking and feeling refreshed and ready to take on more challenges.
Join us this afternoon when guest artist, the Craftaholic Diana Gonzalez will teach us how to make quick, easy, colorful Envelope Books. To make them, we will bind 4-5 envelopes together like “pages” in a book, the pockets can hold small gifts, tickets, mementos and keepsakes, or whatever you wish! And what book is complete without a fabulous cover, you can choose decorative fabric, make a collage, leather, or maybe use decorative paper. The books are quick simple to make, are beautiful when finished.
They make great gifts and are even good for everyday use, you decide. They are so easy, you can make new ones with supplies easily purchased from the local discount store, or by asking your BCAL Saturday Arts and Crafts Instructor to lead another Envelope Book Workshop 
Drop in and sign-up to make envelope books. We’ll be at BCAL at Brooklyn College, Saturday April 9 from 1-4pm. Bring a friend! Or come alone, make a book and make a gift to give to a loved one
Come join us, we hope to see you! Stay posted for pictures of the workshop!
