Discover the creative possibilities of paper art.

 

After a short introduction, you’ll dive right in and learn how to create beautiful paper flowers. You’ll make three types of flowers, inspired by poppies, daisies, and lilies, along with a variety of leaves. Coloured paper is available so participants can choose their own colour combinations.

 

Step by step, the instructor will guide the group through folding, cutting, curling, and assembling the paper components. Some pieces are small and require a bit of patience, but it’s precisely these details that make the final work so special. No worries, pre-cut parts will also be available if that’s easier.

 

No experience is necessary; this masterclass is suitable for all skill levels. Thanks to the small group size, every participant receives personal attention.

 

You’ll go home with a composition of flowers and leaves in a 27×27 cm frame.

 

Paper is a simple, everyday material, but it offers endless creative potential. By cutting, folding, curling, and layering, paper can be transformed from a flat sheet into detailed, three-dimensional forms. This versatility allows artists to experiment with shape and structure, bringing paper to life in unique ways. With a rich history, paper art continues to evolve and now plays a role in illustration, design, and fine art. One of the best things about working with paper is how accessible it is, it’s affordable, familiar, and easy to find. Anyone can start at home with just a few basic tools like scissors and glue. Whether you’re making simple decorations or intricate works of art, paper invites creativity at every level.

 

Hiroko Matsushita was born in Japan and has lived in the Netherlands since 2019. She earned a Master’s degree in Illustration from Arts University Bournemouth in the UK. Her passion for paper began when she started creating illustrations with volume and tactile elements, discovering how paper can go beyond the flat page. Since then, Hiroko has worked as an artist, designer, and illustrator, with paper as her primary medium. Her creations have appeared in advertising campaigns, shop window displays, and various art projects. She loves sharing her passion for paper art and finds great joy in guiding and inspiring others to explore their own creativity.
