 March Artist LOFT Activity:

Queering Women's History Month 

DIY Queer Paper Mache Activist & Icons

Monday, March 20th, 2023 | 6:30pm - 8:30pm at The LOFT

Paper mache, which is derived from papier-mâché, or "chewed paper" in French, is a sculpting medium composed of paper pieces that have been bound together by an adhesive paste. For the most part, paper mache creations are made today using two common techniques. For this activity, we will be using these techniques to make your own paper mache of a Queer Activist or Icon.
