This month in the Studio we're exploring paper!
Often, paper is taken for-granted and overlooked. Paper is more than a material, it’s a language. The possibilities of paper are endless allowing children to transform their ideas into tangible creations. From mark-making to folding, tearing, layering, and constructing, paper becomes a medium through which children think, communicate, and make meaning. Join us to rediscover the true value and potential of paper by exploring it ourselves.

When: Thursday, May 28, drop-in anytime between 6:00 and 7:30 pm and be ready to be inspired!
Open Studio is a drop-in for you to come explore when the time is best for you, no registration is required, just drop by.
