Mid-Autumn Festival Workshop: Magic Picture Cards with Colette Fu

September 14, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

Join us on Thursday, September 14th for a magic picture card-making workshop led by Leeway x NextFab Artist-in-Residence, Colette Fu, an award-winning pop-up book artist.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, a.k.a. Mooncake Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated in Chinese culture – a time when family and friends get together and celebrate. To ring in the occasion, we’ll make magic picture cards, enjoy mooncakes, and sip on bubble tea. All supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring in any photos or artwork you might want to incorporate into a card. All levels are welcome!

Learn more about Colette’s 2023 Leeway x NextFab residency here.

Open tours of the NextFab makerspace will be available after the competition of Colette’s workshop.

ABOUT THE LEEWAY x NEXTFAB ARTIST RESIDENCY

Established in 2018, The Art and Technology Residency (ATR) is an opportunity for a Leeway grantee to utilize the facilities and equipment at NextFab, a network of collaborative makerspaces for professional makers. The artist-in-residence receives a $2,500 stipend from Leeway and access to NextFab’s spaces to create their work. Learn more about NextFab and Leeway.

VENUE ACCESSIBILITY

The workshop will take place at our North Philadelphia location in the large conference room space, about 100 feet forward and slightly to the right of the front entrance. There are no steps to enter the building – only a paved, concrete ramp to the front door. There are gender-neutral restrooms close to the workshop space as well as a free on-site parking lot, available for members and visitors. Masks are encouraged in the space, but not required.
