Makerspace gives families chance to be creative

Making a paper doll as a gift for her mother at the Otago Museum Midwinter Makerspace in Dunedin yesterday is Skyla Bignell (3) and her grandmother, Alma McGregor.

The museum invited people to create a matariki wishing star or dress a paper doll, programme and events co-ordinator Suzanne Caulton said.

The event was designed mostly for children, but often teenagers and adults would sit down with a young family member and have ‘‘just as much fun as the kids’’.

A selection of real designs from iD Emerging Designer finalists were printed out for people to decorate their paper dolls, she said.

The makerspace runs during school holidays until July 27.
