Gaining popularity during the Baroque era, paper theatres where a source of fun and amusement for people of many ages. The idea of having a simple piece of printed paper transform into a world of its own has never stopped captivating people’s imagination.
This workshop is run by illustrator Ignacia Ruiz, who’s work investigates illustration in both 2D and 3D through different printmaking techniques.
Every participant will be provided with tools to draw, carve and print linoleum (Linocut) into their own personal pop up paper theatre.
Every participant will take home a small edition of their printed work.
