Papier-mâché crafts

Fri 04. – Sun 06 June 2027

With paper and paste, all sorts of things can be formed – whether animals or monsters, abstract, representational, decorative or useful – the most diverse shapes can be conjured from papier-mâché in no time at all! When working with this simple and accessible material, there are no limits to our imagination.
In the course, we learn to create bodies from papier-mâché, whether hollow or solid, in any size, and to combine them with other elements and materials. We gradually gain experience with the material, can implement concrete ideas, or simply let the form-finding process run free.
