The third and final in a series of three workshops with Chisato Minamimura.
The workshop
Art forms such as performance, theatre, and music are rooted in the act of creation. In this workshop, we will explore the transformative potential of paper as a medium for creativity. Whether you're an artist or someone looking to break free from routine, this workshop offers a chance to tap into your imagination and create something unique with paper.
As a creator who works with performance, I often find that stepping away from a project and experimenting with something different can help me overcome creative blocks. Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to take a creative detour. This workshop is designed to offer that very opportunity—a break from the usual to rediscover the joy of creation.
What to expect
This is not just about crafting; it’s about experiencing the satisfaction of creating something meaningful from the simplest materials. Whether you're working with black and white, adding color, or bringing paper to life in three dimensions, you’ll find a creative outlet that feels refreshing and fun. Consider this workshop as a treat for your creativity, giving you space to experiment and express yourself.
