Shrink Paper Accessories

Design, shrink and accessorise in this playful hands-on workshop. Participants will draw and colour their own miniature designs on shrink paper before watching them transform in size and thickness when heated.
Through guided demonstrations and creative experimentation, participants will explore illustration, colour and composition while learning how to prepare their designs for the shrinking process. They will discover how scale and proportion change when the material is heated and how simple drawings can be transformed into durable miniature objects.
Once cooled, the finished pieces will be assembled into personalised accessories such as keychains, pins, charms or jewellery. The workshop encourages experimentation and self-expression, giving participants the freedom to turn their illustrations into unique, wearable or functional objects.
