Paper & Wire Lamps

A two-day paper and wire sculpture workshop aimed at the construction of Sculptures - Lighting Fixtures

What does the Workshop include?

The paper and wire sculpture-lighting workshop focuses on the creative exploration of form, light and materiality. Through simple, accessible techniques, participants construct a functional light fixture with a sculptural character, utilizing wire as a skeleton and permeable paper as a surface. Light becomes a structural element of the work, highlighting volumes, shadows and atmosphere, while the process emphasizes handmade construction, experimentation and personal expression.
