Paper Sculpture with Petra Simmons

INFO
Saturday, August 10 2013
1:00PM
 
 

Explore paper through folding and cutting: in this workshop artist/designer Petra Simmons will lead us though a look at historic and contemporary paper folding examples and will teach us how to transform two-dimensional materials into three dimensional sculpture. Using basic folds we will make small objects individually and later will use these skills to create a larger collaborative project. Incorporating the principles of traditional Asian and Middle-Eastern folding and tessellation, this will be an exploration of techniques that you can use to experiment with your own designs!

Also get a chance to check out the large scale paper folded sculpture installation Horns by Emily White while you’re here!

The visual arts gallery is currently closed for installation of Evening Botanist, opening First Friday, April 7th from 5-8pm.
