On March 14, from 11:00AM to 4:00PM, join Diana Jackson for Paper as Sculpture, a playful, hands-on workshop exploring abstract printmaking, memory, and sculptural form. Participants will spend the day creating thin, layered abstract paper prints using a gel plate—prints that will act as expressive “skins” for a simple bamboo framework. These printed surfaces are then wrapped, stretched, and assembled onto the structure, allowing two-dimensional marks to become a three-dimensional sculptural piece. Throughout the process, participants are invited to reflect on memory, traces, and what materials quietly hold: a written thought, a fleeting experience, or something the paper itself seems to remember through touch, pressure, and repetition. The approach is entirely experimental—there are no mistakes, only discovery—and the day unfolds as a fun, free, curiosity-driven exploration where materials lead the conversation.
All materials are supplied. Participants are encouraged to wear a smock or old clothes—this is a hands-on, get-a-little-messy kind of day. No prior experience is required; this workshop is suitable for all levels, including complete beginners. Please bring a snack or lunch for a short break midway through the day, along with curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
Please note that this workshop is non-refundable. All materials are purchased in advance, and the workshop space is reserved specifically for this event. If you are unable to attend, you are welcome to transfer your registration to someone else by arranging for them to take your place.
