Handmade paper is a wonderful, lightweight material perfect for creating low relief and three-dimensional objects.
Spend Saturday embedded wire, string, and reed between wet sheets of high-shrinkage abaca and return the next day to find it magically transformed into dry, structural paper shapes for building.
Further manipulate the dry sheets into forms ranging from sculptural objects to lamps and lanterns. Experiment with glue, thread, wire and other fasteners to create unique paper objects or dimensional book forms.
