Leeds Libraries is inviting people of all ages to help create a unique paper model of the city as part of From Ashes, an ambitious community art project celebrating Leeds 400.
Working with local architects, participants will help construct around 2,000 paper buildings, recreating homes, shops and some of Leeds’ best-known landmarks ahead of Compass Festival this November.
No previous experience is needed—simply come along, enjoy some paper crafting and help bring a miniature Leeds to life.
