These hands-on demonstrations of SF\/F-themed crafting projects, which we have dubbed \u201cfancraft\u201d workshops, will run concurrently, allowing folk to learn about and try their hand at each during the afternoon.<\/h5>\n<h5>In past workshops we have learned how to fold sci-fi origami, for instance, tried our collective hand at stop-motion animation, realistically painted and weathered dollar-store toy guns and plastic knives for use as cosplay props, and \u201cscratchbuilt\u201d model spaceships from assorted household odds and ends.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.monsffa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FancraftWorkshopPromoImage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-33291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monsffa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FancraftWorkshopPromoImage-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monsffa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FancraftWorkshopPromoImage-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monsffa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FancraftWorkshopPromoImage-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monsffa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FancraftWorkshopPromoImage-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monsffa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FancraftWorkshopPromoImage.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>These workshops are hosted from among our own and allow all to exercise their innate creativity.
