A workshop by Tom Mayer.

A playful, hands-on workshop exploring the creative potential of the humble post-it note. Participants will learn how to make a miniature booklet and pen loop using just 8 post-it notes, then transform it into a personalised micro-zine using collage, typewriters, drawing, and text. No previous experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment. You’ll leave with your own handmade publication and a fresh sense of what can be made from everyday materials.

When I first arrived in Berlin, I lived for three months in a refugee camp, sleeping on the top bunk of a bunk bed. Even in this universalised living, people’s identities came through in the way they treated their bunks. What would your bunk bed look like?
