All experience levels are welcome. [Min. 4, Max. 10]
Although materials will be provided, you can personalize the experience and bring the following:- For making paper pulp: old jeans, colored/raw cotton fabrics, colored or scrap paper

I play will old handwritten letters, torn pages from books, vintage fibers, wool, plant debris and trash I find visually engaging.
