Papier-mâché is the perfect medium for those interested in three-dimensional art. This malleable and forgiving medium uses cheap materials to create very organic sculptures, theater props, or home decorations. Best of all, the imperfections in papier-mâché are what make your creations beautiful! Join one of the workshops below to develop a truly unique piece guided by a seasoned paper master and learn this incredible technique.
