CRN : 40911-243

ClassGraphic

In this workshop, we will manipulate paper to create glorious flowers. We will use techniques such as tearing, folding, cutting, quilling, and our imagination. A variety of paper, from handmade to wallpaper, newsprint and beyond, will make it a happening experience!

This is a fabulous way to make sustainable art from things you already have.

There is no skill level required. You will only need your finely tuned hands and a pair of scissors! Paper provided; scissors available, but you might want to bring your own.

Ann Woods says:
“After a twenty-seven-year career as an art teacher, I have become a visual artist. I create bas-relief images from paper. By tearing, folding, rolling, painting, quilling, and manipulating paper I can make interesting 3-D images. Most of the images are birds, flowers, insects, and abstracts. I love the flexibility of this medium and the way it allows me to work in color and form. I employ all types of paper, from my handmade paper to some I found in a small market in Thailand, to old watercolors that my husband was preparing to throw away. I also use Coloraid paper because of the variety and richness of the hues available. Sharing my creations give me joy — and I hope it will do the same for you, too.”
