Cut and Fold - Exploring Paper Workshop

Cut and Fold – Exploring Paper Workshop with Clare Pentlow ARBSA. A day exploring paper art and the many different possibilities it holds through cutting and folding. Initially we’ll be looking at geometric folding from simple pop ups to more complex designs. Later in the afternoon it’ll be paper cutting and gaining confidence with the scalpel whilst creating your own unique artwork.
