Paper can be torn, cut, compressed, folded, punched, creased, crumpled, embossed, stacked, layered, wet-formed, and dyed.
In this way, the sheet changes in form, strength, and flexibility, giving rise to diverse structures and new visual impressions. These can remain two-dimensional or transform into sculptural objects, whose protrusions, indentations, and edges create additional effects through light and shadow.
Abstract paper reliefs emerge, as well as works that evoke landscapes. Even small paper folds—unspectacular on their own—develop their own dynamic and often unexpected effect through repetition and dense arrangement. Small accents of color can highlight individual edges or curves.
The design possibilities for our paper artworks are incredibly diverse, and the processing techniques often reveal surprising variations due to the material properties of the selected paper.
We approach the hidden properties of the paper with curiosity and a spirit of experimentation—that is all you need to bring to this workshop. However, you can take home a highly individual, framed paper object and, hopefully, a newfound enthusiasm for this versatile material. All work processes are designed so that the project can be further developed and continued at home.
