Sculptural Paper 

This workshop will focus on creating sculptures made entirely from paper. We will start with techniques from paper-crafting traditions, including folding, cutting, quilling, scoring, and weaving, which will introduce students to a range of paper-crafting tools, adhesives, and paper stocks. Students will explore these methods to arrive at unique forms and techniques they will discover through their own experimentation. The remainder of the workshop will focus on sculptural paper construction techniques as students work toward the completion of a singular piece of their own design. All levels.
