PAPER – SUMMER SESSION 3
June 16-28, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Lee Emma Running
Cast Paper Sculpture

In this workshop students will explore handmade paper as a primary material for creating sculpture. Paper pulp is a material uniquely suited for sculpture: it can hold a surprising amount of detail when cast, and it can be flexible, light, and translucent. Starting with pulp preparation and basic sheet forming, students will learn to create paper forms using plaster molds, flexible molds, direct casting, and sculptural sheet forming. Beginning to advanced students will be encouraged to explore new ways of working with this versatile material. All levels.
