You don’t have to twist yourself into the Lotus position to take this class! This “modular” creation is actually five separate bowls folded out of pentagons of decreasing size.

Pick this up and you’ll never be able to put it down! A flexicube is a model which consists of 8 connected cubes and rotates endlessly between a 2 x 2 cube and a 2 x 4 rectangular formation. Invented in the 1980’s by Philip Noble, this neat toy uses a single, very long strip of paper. Faye will supply ticker tape to practice and polypropylene ribbon for the final one. This is addictively fun to play with!
