On Nov. 20, artist VET leads a two-hour make-and-take: choose tissue-paper colors, then fold, layer and shape them into a large blossom. The activity is listed for all skill levels.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Folding, layering and shaping are the announced tools for turning colorful tissue paper into a large flower participants can take home. Artist VET leads this edition of Create & Connect in Klyde Warren Park’s Reading Room.
The Nov. 20 project is one focused craft: making a large tissue-paper flower. Participants choose their colors and use folding, layering and shaping to form the blossom. The park describes the activity as a make-and-take for all skill levels, so it is presented as an accessible introduction rather than a class requiring prior experience.
The listing names the techniques but does not provide step-by-step instruction or say what materials will be on hand. It also does not specify whether participants should bring supplies; check with the organizer if that will affect your plans.

VET’s biography describes a Texas visual artist whose exhibiting career spans more than three decades, along with experience teaching hands-on classes and workshops. Environmental responsibility is also part of the practice described there, including murals and installations that incorporate found or repurposed objects.
That background helps place the artist’s work, but the Nov. 20 activity is specifically described as tissue-paper flower-making. The event listing does not say that the paper is recycled or repurposed.
