KickArts Open Studio Maker Space | Free | All Ages

Cardboard Creative is back — and the KickArts Open Studio Maker Space opens Tuesday 6 January!
This free, drop-in creative space invites makers of all ages to cut, build, invent and imagine using one of the most versatile materials around: cardboard.

At the heart of the space is Paperpelago — an ever-evolving cardboard island. It’s currently a somewhat deserted island, ready and waiting for creators to bring it to life. Visitors are invited to add their own constructions to the island using our tools and materials.

Think fish, ships, resorts, beach shacks, stingrays, palm trees, seagulls, pirates — or something completely unexpected. Anything goes. Don’t forget to explore the tunnel and cave while you’re there.

Participants can use one of our 8 Chompsaws (thanks to Chompshop) and Makedo cardboard construction tools (by Makedo) to safely cut and connect cardboard pieces. A big thank you to the local makers and creators who helped kick-start the island with fish, palm trees, skulls, treasure chests and more.
