Paper Potluck
Students in this workshop will learn basic paper sculpture techniques with an emphasis on creating texture and dimension. Through demonstrations and hands-on instruction, we will cover methods for hand-cutting, curving, creasing, gluing, and creating dimensional forms. Students will have time to experiment and to create a paper food item of their own. By the end of the workshop, we will have created a paper potluck. Students should be comfortable working with an X-Acto knife as all cutting will be done by hand. All levels.
