Zoom+Make: Paste Paper Decorative End Sheets
October 16, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$45.00
About this Workshop:
Join us for a fun-filled evening creating original, decorative sheets of paper from home. Using a simple paste recipe, participants will make unique colorful designs that can be customized in many ways, from color to pattern and texture. It’s a bit like finger painting for adults! No experience necessary.
Registration closes October 9, 2025. With your registration confirmation you’ll receive the full materials list (with helpful links) to gather/purchase any needed items, any initial handouts about the process, your Zoom invitation link, as well as access to a quick guide on downloading and using the Zoom app.
