This  course is all about paper, and how one can create unique paper sculptures.  We will create  many interesting projects, sometimes building and finishing upon the previous week. We will make paper sculptures that hang from the ceiling such as mobiles, and make paper lamps, bowls, masks using paper mâché . We will also explore different forms of origami and actually make own paper as well.

Materials will be simple; however, it is advised to look ahead at the list of supplies for each week in advance to make sure your child is prepared and set-up for success for the project.  I will have a detailed list available for supplies and materials needed upon registration for this class.

Please note that I use 2 computers and request each learner to be able to have their view setting on " gallery view" during out class sessions.   Please check in advance if your computer or viewing device has this option.

Parental Guidance is suggested for use of scissors
