instructors Ezio Flammia e Grazia Della Valle
This theoretical, technical and practical workshop is addressed to teachers, students, artists and all who wish to work with their hands. The aim is to get acquainted with traditional and innovative Paper Mache methods experimented by the instructors both in Italy and abroad. Participants will learn about tools and work methods easily, enjoyably and in ways accessible to all. All aspects of each object will be presented from the designing to the actual making of the final product. All techniques, materials and tools used during the course will allow participants to create both simple and complex objects promptly and with the necessary know-how. The workshop will be in two sections: theory and practice. The theory section leads into the practical section offering comprehensive understanding of materials, techniques and tools with appropriate references to their application in different fields: arts and crafts, entertainment and education. It also allows participants to make informed choices of methods, materials and means for the creation of objects according to their function. The practical section, which takes up the greater part of the course allows participants to put into practice the theoretical notions either on their own or in group exercises and to build up the hand skills required to work independently.
