Make Art & New Friends! �

🎨 Art, Chat & Connect! Paper Mache Workshop & English Language Exchange Hi everyone! 🤎 I’m Sara, the founder of Papio Handmade Art Studio in Toronto. I’ve been teaching art for many years, and I really love what I do! I moved to Canada three years ago and started my own art studio here. Most of my students speak Farsi, my first language, and I love teaching them! But now, I’d also love to meet more people from different backgrounds and become more connected with the Canadian community. That’s why I decided to start this little art meetup! 🎨☕ What are we going to do? We’ll get together, learn some paper mache techniques, make something fun by hand, chat in English, and hopefully make some new friends! You don’t need any art experience. I’ll guide you step by step. What to expect * 🎨 A fun, hands-on paper mache workshop * ☕ Casual English conversation while creating * 🤝 Meeting new people and making friends * 💬 Sharing stories, cultures, and ideas * 🤎 A small, friendly group in a creative studio My English isn’t perfect either, so please don’t worry about yours! All English levels are welcome. All tools and materials are provided. You don’t need to bring anything! 🌎 Language This workshop will be held entirely in English because I’d love to practice speaking English and connect with people from different backgrounds. I also offer separate Farsi-language art classes for my Persian-speaking students. A Little About Papio At Papio, I design and create handmade furniture, sculptures, lamps, and home decor using paper mache. Every piece is my own design, made by hand without molds. I’m excited to share my creative world with you! 📸 Find Me Online Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/papio_handmade/ Website: https://papiohandmade.com Come alone or bring a friend! Let’s make art, practice English, and have a good time together! 🎨🤎 Sara — Papio Handmade

Responsive Installations: Using Sensors to Control the Visuals

James is running a workshop with Creative Code Toronto and InterAccess! **NOTE: You need to register with InterAccess for this event! [https://www.tickettailor.com/events/interaccess/2459719](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/interaccess/2459719)** More info at InterAccess: [https://www.interaccess.org/events/responsive-installations-using-sensors-to-control-the-visuals](https://www.interaccess.org/events/responsive-installations-using-sensors-to-control-the-visuals) Public installations come alive when they react to the people around them. In this three-hour workshop, you'll learn how to use sensors that detect motion, distance, touch and more to drive real-time animations. This session bridges code and the physical world. Using a Raspberry Pi and p5.js, we'll wire up sensors, read their signals, and map them to visual parameters such as colour, motion and scale. By the end, you'll have a working responsive prototype, the practical skills to build work that responds to its audience, and a clear path to scaling it into a full installation. **What you'll learn** * Wiring sensors to a Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins * Sending sensor readings from the Pi into a p5.js sketch * Mapping user interactions to animation and visuals * Tips for making installations reliable in public spaces **Target Audience** Artists and creative technologists who want to create interactive installations for public spaces, such as art festivals, or experience-based activations for brands. This workshop is designed for beginners with some coding experience. No electronics experience is needed. **Capacity** Space is limited to 10 workstations. Participants are welcome to work in pairs. **NOTE: You need to register with InterAccess for this event!
