Paper Whale Mâchè Club
TUESDAY'S
Are you seeking an opportunity to further play a role in a community art project? The Paper Whale Maché Club is a gathering for creatives to make art to support Paper Whale Events, including the upcoming Fire & Story Festival.
The vision for Paper Whale Mache Club Winter 2024/2025 includes two types of artwork creations:
1. ILLUMINATED FISH: This is a collaborative and interactive piece of artwork that is our very own design. Individually crafted and unique to our expression.
2. FIRE & STORY DECOR: If momentum and time allow, we will help build lanterns and stage decor for the Fire & Story event.

A gathering of light and warmth during the darkest days of the year.
