Part museum, part arts centre, this dramatic new structure dominates the western end of Burnie’s main beach. It's a fabulous place to get acquainted with this city’s creative heart. You’ll notice the life-size paper people in odd corners of the workshop’s cavernous contemporary interior. These are the work of Creative Paper , Burnie’s handmade-paper producers. Its tours take you through the production process of making paper from such unusual raw materials as kangaroo poo, apple pulp and rainforest leaves.
There are also makers’ studios stationed throughout the centre, where you can watch local producers at work on handicrafts from jewellery to violins, ceramics to glass, felt to papier mâché. In the shop you can buy some of the products produced, and there’s a cafe .
