Advanced 3D Paper Making & Casting workshop
Two Sessions | 6 Hours Each
Exclusive to Participants of the Foundations Workshop
Welcome to The Paper Lab Berlin! This advanced workshop is designed for those who have completed the Foundations Workshop and are ready to take their paper casting and mold-making skills to the next level. Over two intensive six-hour sessions, you’ll explore advanced techniques, refine your methods, and develop personal projects with expert guidance.
What to Expect:
Session 1: Advanced Mold-Making & Material Exploration
Learn how to create complex molds, including multi-part molds and layered structures, to enhance the detail and precision of your paper castings.
Work with wax, silicone, and modeling clay to develop durable, reusable molds.
Experiment with different natural fibers and plant-based pulps to influence texture, strength, and translucency.
Begin designing your own topographic and sculptural forms, using paper as both a material and a concept.
Session 2: Paper Casting, Refinement & Project Development
Cast paper into your custom molds, refining your techniques to achieve intricate details and unique surface qualities.
Explore immersion techniques and layering methods to build depth and dimension in your work.
Receive personalized artistic guidance, ensuring your project aligns with your creative vision.
