The general objetive of the workshop is to provide strategies for creating and modifying folding patterns, to make participants able to create new circular designs.
This workshop is aimed for designers, architects, bookbinders, artists, artisans and paper lovers who want to experiment or use pleats in their work.
Specific objectives:
- Create dynamic and circular folded structures from a straight- edged sheet of paper
- Know and work with different folding rhythms
- Learn new ways to divide a sheet of paper by lines or folds to create a grid
- Experiment with different kinds of surface foldings in order to construct diverse folded structures
- Learn to work with curved pleats
- Create 3D structures from given exercises
- Complete a personal project
