The clamshell shape is the jumping off point for learning how to English paper piece curves in this workshop. Clamshells can tessellate in a number of ways, and in addition to the skill of sewing curved EPP shapes, make for a fun and challenging workshop. By altering the direction of the clamshell and their own fabric choices, students can personalize their project and make something unique.
