It could be a shop or an office, a cinema or a library – anything that will help us to build a thriving carboard community.

We'll provide a range of craft and recycled materials, but please bring a small cardboard box if you can – and of course lots of imagination!

This workshop is part of Local and Community History Month and Kelvin Hall's Glasgow 850 programme.

Drop in - no booking necessary.
