The beauty of repetition in book and form

Course location Ascona

In this class, we'll delve into the creative possibilities of tessellation and experience the transformation of the paper sheet into two- and three-dimensional paper sculptures. There will be an introduction to different folding techniques, and we will work with different papers and materials.
We will explore some techniques that Nadine Werner has developed and make samples that let us see how the folding structures can be used functionally - thus completing the transition from the fascinating art form to the practical design of books or packaging.
At the end of the week, we will move into the experimental phase where we will develop our own design ideas.
