This week's program: collaborative paper sculpture, closing reception/artists' talk and dispersing artwork into the community

Since June 27th, we have turned Satellite Project Space into an active workshop of paper making, as part of our community engaged ecological art project, From Foraging to Forging Communities. In the last two weeks over 200 Londoners joined us in the many stages of paper making, starting with foraging walks then turning the collected grass and cottonwood into 935 sheets of handmade paper.
​
This week, July 13-17, we invite the public to create collaborative three-dimensional sculptures with the handmade paper through stitching, weaving, sewing. The sculptures created will reflect each individual’s ideas of what community means and the installation will evolve throughout the week as more and more people participate. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to partake as this activity is suitable for all ages and abilities.
 ​

The project ends Sunday, July 17th with a closing reception and artists' talk at 4 PM. At the conclusion of the artists' talk, the artwork brought to life by the community through collaborative labour will be dispersed into the community.  Everyone is invited to participate in the de-installation of the artwork and take home handmade paper.
​
We have extended hours this week. Mon - Fri 2-7PM, Sat 12-9PM, Sun 1-5PM
