Fantastic Paper Sculptures

For this drop-in workshop, let yourself be inspired by the pieces in our collection to create your own three-dimensional sculpture out of paper.

Wood, marble, metal: these are just some of the many materials used by sculptors to create their works of art. Whether they feature abstract or figurative shapes, straight or curving lines, sculptures are an infinite source of inspiration.
