Workshop Details

This four-part series is an invitation to immerse yourself in a creative process with natural materials. The philosophy of Wabi-sabi will be our guide as we explore the myriad of possibilities using natural materials to create perfectly/imperfect sculptures. The series will begin by making non-traditional textured paper using flax roving for collage. The following weeks will focus on making a mold with wire mesh and plaster cloth for casting and building armatures with rattan using a lashing technique. Your textured paper will be applied over the form creating an organic fiber sculpture.

Instructor: Jacqueline Mallegni

Larisa Semke

Workshop Details

In this workshop, you will be guided in creating a stunning relief using pyramid-like paper components inspired by Larigami No. 1. You can personalize the color, size, and arrangement of the pieces to suit your creative vision.

Each shape is carefully cut, folded, and glued by hand. This process is repeated multiple times, as each relief is composed of many individual pieces. The activity is very relaxing—almost meditative. Once all the pieces are ready, the relief is arranged and assembled. Depending on the desired size, you can also expand and complete it at home.

The price includes: cutting templates (available as a PDF upon request), high-quality paper in various colors, an A3 base and glue.

Please bring: scissors and a bone folder (if you have one).

Wednesday, November 6, 2024, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Workshop Details

When we work sculpturally, we gain a profound understanding of how perspective can transform and shift in response to the interplay of light and the angle from which we observe our creations. This powerful fact serves as a metaphor for the intricacies and ever-changing nature of life itself. By skillfully manipulating various elements and incorporating them into a multi-dimensional layered sculpture, we are able to effectively convey the intricate and multifaceted layers that constitute our unique life experiences.

Learn a variety of methods to strengthen and sculpt paper. Ancient oriental practices will be discussed and demonstrated as well as innovative techniques with natural materials. A unique method for armature will be shown.

Sessions are conducted on a individual basis according to your needs. 
Choose a day and time that suits your schedule for an online or in-person class.
