How can we help?
Q: What should I wear?
Something you don't mind getting a little messy — we'll be working with paper pulp, glue, and paint, and things can splash. Aprons aren't provided, so an old shirt or apron of your own is a good idea.
Q: Do I need to bring anything?
All materials are included. Just bring yourself and water to keep you hydrated during the workshop. (+ maybe a hair tie if you've got long hair.)
Q: Is the space easy to get to?
We're based in North Melbourne, near the station — details on parking and access will be sent closer to the date.
Q: Can I take home leftover materials?
Yes, take what you'd like to keep experimenting at home.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 7 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 2 x 2 hours, $220 - $250 per guest (Earlybird price of $220 applies if you book into a public session 7+ days ahead)

Your teacher
Hello. I'm Min from Korea! Currently working as a sculptural artist in Melbourne.My practice is about turning discarded paper — newspapers, magazines, old books — into sculptural objects and furniture. I completed my MA in Furniture and Product Design at Kingston University London, and since then my work has shown in Seoul, Milan, and Melbourne.This is actually my first workshop. I've spent years figuring things out on my own in the studio — what works, what falls apart, how paper actually behaves under different conditions. I wanted to take everything I've learned through that process and share it directly, in a room, with people working alongside me.In this workshop, you'll mainly work with paper clay and explore its properties with cardboard, hanji, botanical fiber, paper scraps and more to build your own form. OFF COURSE means starting from what you need. Mistakes and detours are part of the process, not something to avoid.Across the 4-hour session, we'll experiment with materials, explore directions, and work towards your own idea alongside a small group. By the end, we'll share what we've made and take a few photos to remember it by.Sign up if this feels like something you need.I'm looking forward to meeting you at the table.
