Before the smart phone, people spent a lot of time figuring out clever ways to make a large piece of paper fold easily so it could fit in a pocket and then quickly unfold on demand to find a location. This class will cover several techniques including Turkish and Hungarian map folds. (They make great cards as well.) No experience necessary.

Nancy Botkin is a granddaughter of Heman and Edith Chase, so she has always spent a lot of time in Mill Hollow. One of her biggest treats as a kid was to get invited to "work" alongside Heman in his office while he was working on his maps. In recent years, Nancy's main creative outlet has been book crafts, including handmade books, miniature books, and decorative paper techniques. Although mostly self-taught, Nancy has taken a few classes at the San Francisco Center for the Book. She often creates maps for group walks, recruiting friends for "map-folding parties."
