What: Paper Pulp Workshop

When: March 24th // from 6:30 - 9:00 pm

Get down with paper

Papier maché is not just for making halloween masks. It is also a great material for building anything that can be both light and strong. It’s also only made from old newspapers, so resources are never far, and you can give it pretty much any shape you want.

But the material we’ll be working with throughout this workshop goes beyond laminated papier maché. We’ll be shredding and mixing matter so thoroughly that it’ll become some sort of sludgy paste that’s even more fun to work with and is better for dyeing.

The workshop is also open – and lots of fun – for kids.

SESSION OVERVIEW:

This session will be dedicated to making lampshades and bowls in a variety of shapes and colours. We hope you don’t mind getting your hands wet, you’ll be learning how to produce the paper pulp too. All of the techniques taught in the workshop are easy to recreate at home as well.

INSTRUCTOR: Regis Lamberthe

The course will be taught by French designer Régis Lemberthe. He moved to Berlin after graduating as a master in “humanitarian design and sustainable living” from Design Academy Eindhoven, and started working on a variety of projects ranging from conceptual product design (A&Ré Design) and interaction design (Régißtudio) to collaborative design (Enable Berlin) and skill sharing (Maker Lab, Betahaus Build Or Buy).
