Rediscover the joy of messy hands and playful making in this two-day workshop! We will explore this hands-on medium that invites creativity and experimentation. Participants can choose their own direction: create a sculpture, a wall hanging, a mask, or anything else you can dream up.
We’ll start by learning how to build sturdy structures using simple materials like cardboard, tinfoil, balloons, and wire. From there, you will be provided a papier-mache mixture to layer on.
The following week we will paint our dried pieces. Expect to use your hands and basic tools to create something unique and delightful.
No experience necessary, just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get a little messy!
