Discover the enchanting world of low relief paper sculpture in this captivating workshop. Join our paper craft class and learn the delicate art of creating three-dimensional masterpieces in paper. Be amazed as you bring your unique visions to life - from flowers, leaves, wings to waves or butterflies,.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, this class is designed to nurture your creativity. We'll guide you through the process of planning, tracing, cutting, and shaping paper to create a stunning sculpture. Don't worry if you're new to this craft; we'll begin with exercises to familiarize you with the techniques and build your confidence. Some hand dexerity is needed for detailed cutting.
You'll also learn how to construct the hidden structure of foam core that supports your paper sculpture. Then, we'll cover how to mount your creations. The small class (maximum 8 students) will allow individual attention.
In our fully equipped studio in Strathfield (right near the train station in Sydney's inner wesr), you'll have access to all the tools and materials you need. Metal rulers, set squares, bone folders, X-acto knives, cutting mats, pencils, scissors, erasers, glue, templates, and inspirational photos will be provided. You won't have to worry about a thing - just bring your imagination and eagerness to create.
At the end of the workshop, you'll have a beautifully crafted sculpture ready to take home and display. Our classwork is meticulously designed to perfectly fit an affordable easily available square box frame, making framing and hanging a breeze. If you can't wait to showcase your new creation, there will be a selection of box frames available for purchase.
Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 4 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
