⚠️ Accessibility, Comfort & Health Notice
This is a messy craft activity using paper mâché materials, so please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
Participants will remove clothing from their upper body in a small, private group setting (about 10 people). We understand this can feel vulnerable — please know it’s a safe and body-positive space, and you can opt out or pause at any time.
If you have allergies, skin sensitivities, or accessibility needs, please contact us in advance so we can make accommodations.
This event is exclusive to Waterloo undergrad students.
