Paper Workshop

In a digitalised world where time is scarce, it is more important than ever to let our imagination and creativity run wild. Experience the meaningful togetherness across generations. We invite you to explore paper material and explore your fine motor skills. You cannot cut wrong here - you just cut in your own unique way.

You can try this

> Make your own Easter letter
> Cut your silhouette in the silhouette cabinet
> Fold a paper box, frog, or water bomb
> Make beautiful invitations and place cards
> Set sail with your own paper boat in Blokhus Paper Boat Harbour….
and much, much more.

Forbidden for adults!

Do you think just looking at art can be a bit boring? Do not worry! You do not have to at Museum for Papirkunst. When you visit us, you will receive an activity suitcase, which is forbidden for adults and full of fun and educational games that change with the current exhibitions. The suitcase contains, for example, a boarding pass for Paper-Plane Airport, a magnifying glass so you can find all the fun and strange characters that Bit Vejle has cut into her works, and a template you can use in the Paper Workshop to cut out a windmill man just like Hans Christian Andersen himself.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Visit Paper Plane Airport in Blokhus

When you visit Museum for Papirkunst, you can fold your very own paper airplane in the museum’s workshop. We have different materials and folding methods at the ready - the only limit is your imagination.

Follow the Go To Gate sign to the airstrip. Here you will be checked in by air traffic control, so remember your boarding pass.

Experience Blokhus Paper Harbour

Fold adventurous paper boats like in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale. Andersen’s fairytale The Steadfast Tin Soldier. In the story of the one-legged tin soldier who is unhappily in love with a dancer, two boys find the tin soldier on the street: “Look! There’s a tin soldier lying there. He’s going sailing. And so they made a boat out of a newspaper, put the tin soldier in the middle of it, and now he was sailing down the gutter,” wrote Hans Christian Andersen.
