Craftopia: Papermaking class @ Craftopia
Tickets
Oct 7 @ 4:00 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.
