Paper Mache

Paper mache is a versatile medium and can be applied using different recipes and techniques. In Sargeant’s Mess we use waste paper and cardboard, bottles and other discarded materials. If you are seeking an alternative to clay, this can be a great medium to explore – no kiln required!

PRIVATE BOOKINGS

Workshops can be booked for 2 or 3 hours per session. Because the paper mache needs time to dry, all courses take place over a minimum of two weeks.
