Discover the transformative power of paper in this hands-on workshop, where we explore the art of turning simple sheets into intricate, dynamic sculptures. Through cutting, folding, layering, and sculpting techniques, participants will unlock the potential of this everyday material, creating works that defy expectations.
We will delve into structural techniques, exploring how paper can be manipulated to create volume, movement, and texture. Whether delicate or intricate, bold or architectural, paper’s versatility allows endless sculptural possibilities.
