In his large-format paintings, Thomas Bayrle uses the repetition of individual motifs to create the illusion of three-dimensionality. After a tour of the artist’s exhibition, participants will, in a relaxed group setting, create their own three-dimensional paper objects as a practical way of engaging with what they have seen. Various serial folding techniques, such as the traditional Miura-ori, will be used. Suitable for beginners.

To round off the evening, wine or non-alcoholic drinks will be served.
