About this Event
In this hands-on collage workshop, reimagine the nostalgic paper doll as a character in motion. Through colour, texture and playful experimentation, you’ll create a jointed paper figure you can style, adjust and bring to life!
What to expect
In this workshop, we turn the classic paper doll into a movable collage character!
Using simple collage techniques and split pins, you’ll design and build your own paper figure. Through clothing, hairstyle and accessories, we’ll explore how small details shape identity, and how movement brings a character to life.
We’ll focus on colour, texture, found materials, and expressive poses. By the end, you’ll leave with a fully assembled moving paper doll.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop welcomes:
- Anyone ages 18-30
- Complete beginners who are simply curious and ready to play!
- Creative practitioners who would like to experience the tactile charm and spontaneity of collage in a new way!
Materials
All materials will be provided; you’re also warmly invited to bring your own materials! Packaging, wrapping paper, coloured paper, scraps or any found paper you love. Personal materials often make the character even more special!
This workshop is open to anyone aged 18-30.
