Universe of Paper: Community Workshop #1 - Making Paper

This series of workshops is being run by the creator – Stephanie Reynolds. After a long successful career in the business world, Stephanie Reynolds has reignited an old passion of designing and making couture. Now, she works mostly with paper. She opened her first solo exhibition at a north-west Tasmanian gallery in October 2023. Six of her recent works — all inspired by the Victorian era — are on show at the Queen Victorian Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston as part of an exhibition called Rise.

Stephanie is running multiple workshops along the northwest coast as a special community project that will fill Devonport’s Market Square Pavilion with an immersive paper art installation that you can be part of! Universe of Paper will be launched on the night of the Paper on Skin™ gala.
Join these sessions to bring her forest of paper to fruition. Stephanie is a powerhouse of energy and inspiration. It will be a great experience to work with her.
