This studio class will take a single product – paper – and explore six themes of hands-on practice: paper making, pen and ink, block prints, stenciling, silkscreen and collage.

In this hands-on course, participants will learn a variety of new techniques in upcycled artmaking, drawing from the abundance of paper, fabric, and other donated supplies at the MFTA warehouse.

Learn to make puppets, props, miniature sets — and more — using upcycled materials. This course is designed for teachers who are interested in offering their students a deeper investigation of engineering and design through project-based learning.

Learn animation projects to bring back to your classroom! Make characters, props, and backgrounds from upcycled materials.

From the archive to the studio, explore the ways art has carried the political message of movements. Zines, printmaking, podcasts, and more.

Experiment with numerous techniques in cutting, folding, shaping and molding multiple weights and sizes of paper found in the MFTA warehouse.

Explore bookmaking, sculptures made without glue, paper mosaics and more - upcycled projects you can take into your classroom.

Step into the rich tradition of Quilt Making. Co-taught by our former Designer in Residence, Daveed Baptiste.
