Paper Folding Workshop with Kate Colin

Paper–folder extraordinaire Kate Colin shares her expertise in a series of hands–on workshops in the Barbican Shop.

The classes begin with learning how to transform flat pieces of paper into intricate three–dimensional sculptures. Participants are then guided through the process of folding their own unique lampshade to take home.

'Every piece is made of a unique combination of colours and when illuminated, their appearance is radically transformed: folds, creases and angles become emphasised while an intensity of colour is brilliantly revealed'.
