Recommend age 7 and up, however if your child is younger and you feel they would be able to concentrate on one activity for 45 minutes, then please do book them in.
Discover the endless creative possibilities hidden within a simple sheet of paper. This workshop series explores the imaginative world of paper art, from delicate origami and paper toy design to layered collage and expressive 3D paper sculpture.
Across the sessions, you will experiment with cutting, folding, shaping, constructing, and transforming paper in unexpected ways. Inspired by artists, illustrators, designers, and contemporary paper sculptors, you’ll learn how paper can become playful, sculptural, intricate, and full of personality.
These workshops encourage curiosity, problem solving, and creative thinking while developing practical making skills and confidence with materials. Whether creating miniature worlds, wearable pieces, pop-up designs, or imaginative paper characters, you will discover how something ordinary can become extraordinary through creativity and experimentation.
You can attend a single session, or join all four days at a discounted rate to continue building your paper art skills and creative confidence.
We will have 40 minute lunch break – please bring lunch with you to enjoy in the studio. Alternatively you can take a walk down the High Street where there are a couple of cafes to choose from if you’re old enough to go on your own.

We believe creativity should be accessible to everyone. If you feel your child would benefit from one of our workshops but financial circumstances make this difficult, please get in touch with us in confidence. Through our Pay It Forward scheme, we may be able to offer supported places, and we would hate for anyone to miss out on the benefits of creativity due to cost. Equally, if you are in a position to contribute towards our Pay It Forward scheme and help another child access our workshops, we would love to hear from you.
