‘The Paper Magician‘

Join MasterMakers Paul Wells and Anastasia Young for this showcase exploring transformation through form, fold, and structure. Guided by a story where craft becomes creation, this theme invites sculptural pieces, vessels, and jewellery that investigate form and materiality. Where metal, or any material, is transformed by hand into three-dimensional forms.

A short excerpt from the book that inspired this showcase:

 

“ “Everything is made of Folds,” he explained, folding a sheet of paper in half, then again.“The trick is getting the Folds right. Everything must be aligned just so, or the spells won’t work — just as you can’t enchant a mirror if it doesn’t reflect a perfect image.” Ceony watched his hands move the paper this way and that. It bent under his touch like water.”

— The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg
