Event Details

with visiting artist Helen HiebertSaturday and Sunday February 18, and 1910 am – 4pmHandmade paper is a wonderful and light material for use in creating low-relief and three-dimensional objects. By using embedded wire, string, and reed between sheets of high shrinkage abaca the paper has a structural form for building. After creating the embedded paper the first day, students will return to the studio on day two to find the paper magically transformed and will learn ways to further manipulate the dry sheets into forms ranging from lamps and lanterns to low-relief  and three-dimensional sculptural objects. We will experiment with glue, thread, wire and other fasteners to create unique objects.250$ including materials
