Enjoy marveling at the miniature art you can make with shrinky dinks! We will play with stamps, paints and markers to create unique pieces, then pop them in the oven and watch them shrink! Your masterpiece minis will then be coated in UV resin for protection and can be turned into magnets, keychains, earrings, necklaces, and so much more. They may be small, but the possibilities are only limited by your imagination! Ages 6+. Under 12 years must be accompanied by an adult.

Craftopia: Papermaking class @ Craftopia
Tickets
Jul 2 @ 12:00 pm

Join us for a family-friendly, fun class making your very own paper! Learn about the process and make sheets of your very own paper to take home. You’ll be able to play with color, decorations, and make your very own unique paper to turn into cards, journals, or anything else you can dream of. Recommended for ages 6+. Children under 10 need a parent with them to help. Paper takes about 24 hours to dry, so you can make arrangements to pick up your dried paper later at the studio, or bring a towel and box to transport home to dry yourself.
