A collaboration between OMG Florence! and Diana Beltrán Herrera
Paper is one of the most ancient materials through the history of civilization. It is a medium that records all kinds of information and ideas. In creative fields, sketching on paper is used as a way to immediately capture ideas, both written and drawn. Even in this Digital Age, paper continues to be indispensable in our every day life.
The idea is to explore paper as an adaptable medium by getting familiar with its characteristics, its strengths, its limits and potential applications. Through the workshop participants will learn a new approach for making models and prototypes using paper, as well as other methods fundamental in the creative process and problem solving in fashion and design.
