Fantastic Creatures Workshop

Join Sol Collective to learn how to create a fantastic creature with papier-mâché, in this two-sessions workshop. Students will learn the basics of papier-mâché sculpting technique. The instructor will guide them step by step to create a fantastic creature. Students will learn how to create an armature, made of wire, that will be the support of the fantastic creature; then, they will cover it with papier-mâché; finally, they will paint it in their favorite style.

After the workshop, students will be able to design and create their own fantastic creatures.
