The workshop sparked renewed creative energy, fostered cross-disciplinary collaboration, and led to fresh prototypes and bold new ideas.
A hand in motion blurs over a piece of white paper with colourful crayon scribbles and magazine cut-outs. Part of a blue sleeve is visible. At the top, there’s a partially seen white glue bottle on a worn, greenish surface.
A woman wearing a colourful headscarf and pink sleeves folds a large white sheet of paper. She stands in front of a yellow wall with a brick border at the bottom, looking focused on the paper in her hands.
A handmade white paper handbag is taped to a textured beige wall. The handbag has a flap and two handles made from curled paper strips, appearing crumpled and uneven. The edges and corners are held together with visible pieces of tape.
A colourful circular handbag with a braided rope handle, featuring a vibrant patchwork of blue, green, black, and purple patterns, and two overlapping button-like decorations on top. The bag rests on a light beige fabric surface.
A vibrant floral arrangement in a round container, featuring red, white, and pink flowers, green leaves, feather accents, and a white string arranged on top. The basket sits on a light grey textured fabric background.
A sun shape made from torn white paper with a round centre and jagged rays is attached to a wall of reddish-orange square tiles. The sun has two small ovals for eyes and a round mouth, also created from torn white paper.
A smiling man wearing a mustard-coloured shirt, white paper bow tie, and a white paper hat sits indoors. His shirt pocket also has a folded white paper. The wall behind him is cream-coloured, and warm light highlights his face and joyful expression.
A pair of handmade earrings with round, patterned discs featuring red and white diamond shapes, black beads, gold accents, and long, bright red tassels, displayed on a textured dark grey fabric background.
A white papier-mâché mask decorated with colourful paint splatters, geometric shapes, and circular red gems. Blue, green, and red feathers are attached on top, giving the mask a festive and artistic appearance. The mask sits on a textured cloth surface.
Three people work on colourful arts and crafts at a table covered with magazines, glue, paint, and supplies. Two are focused on their projects, while a third person stands watching. The setting appears to be outdoors, next to a building with green window frames.
A colourful, handmade bowl decorated with large foam flowers, glittery flower shapes, feathers, and small foam shapes. The bowl’s interior is mostly purple, with an array of bright decorations inside and around the rim, set on a pale textured surface.
A piece of paper shows a large circle drawn in black crayon with many triangle shapes around the edge, resembling a sun. There are extra scribbles and a partial curved shape visible on the top left, and a hand holding a crayon at the top left corner.
