Description

Learn to create a 3D lamp with basic folding techniques

You will begin to learn more about Cartoncita's work, her career, her influences, her tastes and some of her favorite books.

Below you will discover the tools, materials and basic techniques of folding paper, diagrams and origami types. "Paper and cardboard are economical, recyclable materials with multiple possibilities" , explains Cartoncita. "Apparently static and flat, after folding, the paper takes three-dimensionality and speaks through its shadows".
