Calling all Pokémon fans! Step into the world of origami and learn how to fold your very own Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and a Pokéball-inspired bookmark in this fun and creative workshop. You can use your handmade bookmarks as part of your Fabula Reading Challenge this summer—making reading time even more magical!

Led by a talented brother-and-sister origami due, ages 9 and 10, this hands-on session is a great way to explore your creativity and pick up some impressive paper-folding skills. All materials are provided—just bring your enthusiasm and get ready to fold!

Discover the art of sacred geometry and its timeless beauty in architecture. You will learn how to use a pair of compasses to draw intricate geometric patterns and explore designs that have inspired structures for centuries. Choose your favourite pattern, transfer it onto a wooden coaster, and bring it to life with vibrant Posca pens. Take home your own graphic coaster as a unique keepsake!

Ever imagined painting in the air and watching your artwork come to life all around you? In this hands-on virtual reality workshop, you’ll explore a new dimension of creativity using easy-to-learn tools like MultiBrush. Working in pairs, you’ll create vibrant 3D art in a fully immersive space, experiment with virtual techniques, and gain the confidence to express yourself through emerging technology.

No experience needed, just a playful spirit and a dash of curiosity!
