About this Event
Have you ever wanted to create people in your own unique style?
In this playful workshop, Min will guide you to break out of your usual habits, tap into your inner child, and create characters you’ve never imagined before. You’ll learn a super fun technique for seeing negative space, simplify people into easy shapes, cut them out, and decorate them into lively paper characters.
You’ll also receive✨ a 25-sheet set of Min’s custom 150mm x 150mm pattern papers as part of your materials!
Min’s goal is for everyone to make at least 8-10+ characters during the 3-hour workshop—just like her examples and her past students' amazing results. You can bring photos of your family or friends, or use the reference photos provided to spark your creativity.
Come ready to cut, play, explore, and fill your sketchbook with a crew of whimsical paper people!
