About Us
Our Story
PaperFormArt started with the simple magic of teaching someone how to create something alive from a piece of paper. A shared love for this subtle discipline blossomed into a collective effort to teach all of the intricacies of paper sculpting, from the first bold fold to the last delicate curl.
Each crease, fold and curl is carefully considered. The teachers here believe that hands on learning with well-intentioned guidance is the best way to learn the fundamentals of paper sculpting. We stress technical attention to detail and respect for the medium and practice patience, precision and confidence with every piece.
Guided by Creativity
Attention to detail, patience and respect for the medium are how we approach every piece. We practice integrity in the guidance we provide. We try to be honest about how difficult it is to do well, and we value the craft. We encourage creativity by teaching the foundation of our techniques and then letting you experiment.
Mastery Through Practice
We believe there is no short cut to getting better. With every lesson, you will improve, but only with practice. We will teach you the technique of every fold and every crease.
Shared Creative Journey
We encourage a free exchange of ideas and spirit of cooperation. We encourage our members to ask questions and we celebrate every success.
