What to Expect
Discover the fascinating world of paper circuits in this hands-on workshop designed for adults aged 16 and over. You'll learn how to build a simple circuit using an LED light and then create a unique card that lights up, combining creativity with basic electronics.
The session begins with building and testing your paper circuit together, ensuring everyone understands how it works. From there, you'll design an artwork inspired by light, integrating your LED so it becomes a striking part of your card.
No prior experience is needed, and all materials are provided, making this a perfect opportunity to try something new and creative in a supportive environment.
