\"Brampton<\/a><\/p>\n

A Brampton paper art workshop will turn food memories into layered artwork on September 23, offering adults and older teens a free way to explore family traditions through making. Registration deserves an early look: the studio\u2019s September 25 mosaic workshop is already listed as sold out.<\/p>\n

Layers of Heritage: Cultural Food in Paper Art takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. at Happy Hands Pottery & Art Studio<\/a>, Unit 303 in the Old Shoe Factory at 57 Mill Street North. The organiser specifies ages 16 and older, with materials supplied and registration required.<\/p>\n

Brampton paper art starts with a familiar meal<\/p>\n

The workshop asks participants to draw on dishes, ingredients or meals with personal or family significance. Using coloured paper, cutting tools, adhesives and backing surfaces, they will build a composition in layers and take the finished artwork home.<\/p>\n

A remembered meal becomes something participants can represent through shape, colour and arrangement. The organiser describes guided planning, a demonstration of layering techniques and time for individual work with instructor feedback.<\/p>\n

The studio\u2019s booking page<\/a> lists the session from 6 to 8 p.m. and invites participants to reserve a free place. The activity includes a short introduction and live demonstration, followed by guided concept development and time to assemble the paper elements.<\/p>\n

Free registration, with companion sessions sold out<\/p>\n

Happy Hands is participating in Culture Days, which runs from September 18 to October 4. The City\u2019s tourism listing<\/a> also carries the paper-art event, connecting the independent Mill Street studio with the wider arts celebration.<\/p>\n

On September 18, the paper-art booking page displayed a ticket link without a sold-out notice. Check current availability and register through the organiser before your visit.<\/p>\n

The September 25 mosaic workshop was listed as sold out, and the studio\u2019s September 18 linocut session was also listed as sold out. The September 23 session is the focus of this Brampton paper art preview.<\/p>\n

The official Culture Days listing identifies Happy Hands as one of the applicants selected through the City\u2019s call for community arts programming. Cultural Services is supporting the workshop, giving a local creative business a role in the citywide celebration. The activity\u2019s focus is on making and sharing work rooted in participants\u2019 own experiences.<\/p>\n
