Facilitators and Artists will be available to assist your making experience in our free Activity Zone! reDiscover has searched the world for the best cardboard tools that are kid-friendly and versatile. Come to Cardboard City with an idea of something you want to make or follow one of our prompts to create a project like a hat, a figurine, or architectural model, to take home or contribute to one of our collective sculptures. Classes at Cardboard City are offered every hour on the hour, giving participants ages 8+ a chance to go in depth with cardboard artmaking, learn new skills in cutting, forming, and building with cardboard. Led by reDiscover's talented Program Facilitators, these classes incorporate tinkering, play, creativity, and lots and lots of cardboard. Each day's schedule includes classes on costuming, sculpture, and modelmaking, as well as special classes developed by Cardboard City's Artists-in-Residence. Check out the day's schedule at the Cardboard City Info Desk upon arrival. $30/student. This free public program celebrates creativity and sustainability through cardboard art.
