2)  Texture X Material: Eco Paper Workshop

From an art learning perspective, the workshop will explore the texture, material, and characteristics of paper, creating handmade cards that are not only creative and aesthetically appealing, but can be used as gifts or keepsakes, extending the life cycle of the material.

Participants will learn about sensory concepts such as colours, texture and patterns, and use appropriate tools and techniques with materials such as paper, paint, petals, leaves, threads and more, to create their own unique handmade cards with creative designs. The process allows participants to unleash their creativity and imagination, while developing their crafting skills and patience.

In addition to the knowledge of paper recycling, you will also learn to apply artistic concepts to create beautiful and practical homemade pulp art, with unique textures, patterns, colours, and appeals. You will experience the joy and challenges of creating while cultivating an awareness of environmental protection. Let’s participate in this fun and meaningful workshop!
