questions
quick answers
Can I come alone?
Definitely. Lots of people come solo. The groups are small (6 people max.) and relaxed - easy to chat, or just do your own thing.
I am not artistic. Will I enjoy this?
Absolutely! PAPO is all about curiosity, not skill. You’ll choose colours, cut shapes, and play with designs. No painting, no pressure. Most people leave surprised by how good it feels to make something real.
What if i make a mistake?
Decals can be moved and adjusted while wet, so you'll have time to tweak your design until you're happy with it.
And remember: handmade pieces are never about perfection. Tiny quirks and surprises are what make each one yours. That's the beauty of it.
