PAINTED PAPER LAB // AFTER HOURS

October 6, 2026 at 6:30:00 PM

Tuesday, October 6, 2026 · 6:30–9:30 PM

PAINTED PAPER LAB // AFTER HOURS treats decorative paste paper as a working surface practice rather than a one-off craft.

Participants mix color and paste, test combs and improvised tools, layer patterns, and learn how timing, pressure, viscosity, and tool choice change the result. The goal is controlled experimentation: knowing what happened well enough to repeat it.

Leave with approximately 8–12 original sheets for covers, endpapers, cards, collage, journals, boxes, and future paper work. No previous experience is required. Materials included. 18+ only.
