Course Description
About the seminar
The purpose of this seminar is to guide you from the basics of papier-mâché creation to crafting unique art-objects.
What is Papier-Mâché?
Papier-mâché is an eco-friendly and versatile material made from recycled paper that can be shaped into various forms and shapes. Its ability to hold vibrant colors makes it ideal for expressive, dynamic artworks. Since 1989, Sofia has explored papier-mâché together with Petros Kazantzidis under the name Mahogani. Through this practice, simple materials—paper, water, and glue—are transformed into durable art objects that can become part of everyday life.

Classes take place Monday to Friday, from 15:00 to 19:00.
