Crafters living in Dandenong can join a free event that shows them how to make colourful metallic paper flowers.
Sez Southgate, from Bayside Makerspace, will be hosting a beginner-friendly workshop, instructing joiners on how to make a handcrafted paper bouquet that they can take away with them. The workshop is also a calm space in which to work.
Southgate created Bayside Makerspace as a creative hub where adults are welcome to come and create, get messy and join an inclusive, welcoming community. She left her corporate life to foster a space where all are welcome to try their hand at a new skill or improve an existing one, with the aim of connection, community and playfulness.
The workshop in Dandenong will involve painting art paper with metallic watercolours and then using the paper to create petal shapes that can be joined to create colourful blooms. Every flower will be unique, and it is a chance to let creativity come to the forefront.
Local libraries are often also community spaces where upcoming events can be advertised by the use of poster printing.
A Metallic Paper Flowers workshop is taking place on Tuesday 9th May, from 6.30pm until 8pm at Dandenong Library on 225 Lonsdale Street. The event is free but it is necessary to be a library member and also to register for a place.
