Wednesday Night Workshop - Paper Art Assemblages

Get your hands on some paper—and make it pop!

Join us for our Wednesday Night Workshop series, where creativity meets community in a relaxed, hands-on setting.

This month, we’re diving into the fascinating world of paper-based sculpture—exploring its evolution and crafting our own three-dimensional paper assemblages.

Led by brilliant teaching artist Yaz Gaté, you’ll build a sculptural story using paper as your medium. Whether you're a seasoned maker or just starting out, there’s a technique for everyone. Learn tips and tricks to create height and depth through layering techniques and careful consideration of colour, tone and shape. Need a little extra help? We’ve got hole punches and plenty of inspiration to get you going.

Come flip your perspective on paper—and connect with fellow creatives while you snip, fold, and assemble your way to a unique artwork.

Enjoy snacks and a drink upon arrival.  

All materials provided, and all skill levels welcome.

Suitable for ages 18+.
