We surround ourselves with it daily, yet, have you considered all the possibilities in a single sheet of paper?
This class will explore the “out-of-the-box” possibilities paper can offer in both 2D and 3D. Using exacto blades (and/or scissors), paper and glue, we will explore positive and negative space through shapes while thinking about color, light and shadow.
We will use simple tools to create curves, rounded edges and folds to create dramatic effects. In this workshop let's have FUN while discovering, and make a card for someone special. No experience necessary.
