Darrell Wakelam – Cardboard Construction – 3D Birds
About the Session
Darrell will explain some of the basic construction techniques he uses to create his cardboard sculptures and in the process he will explore them by making 3D birds. These sculptures will involve simple, easy to learn, methods and will require just basic materials . . . if you want to join in you will simply need a pair of scissors, a roll of tape and some scrap cardboard that is thin enough for you to cut, fold and bend into shapes. A cereal box will be adequate!
