Cabinet of Curiosity Studio are designer-makers working in the visual arts with expertise in papercrafts and digital fabrication. Their collaborations investigate hidden histories, stories, architecture, places and crafts to engage audiences in design and visual art through exhibitions, installations and participation.
We've been busy running art and design workshops for the Thames Festival Trust's educational project 'Rivers of the World'. The majority of our workshops have involved theming our workshops on Taiwanese culture and the Tamsui River in the city of Taipei. Our workshop briefs have involved pupils making paper craft artwork that has looked at the Dragon Boat Festival, shadow puppets, kites and architecture. Pupils make individual artwork within the workshop sessions which we then photograph before combining the artwork to make a banner illustration to represent each of the schools involved in the programme.
Above is some of the individual artwork from workshop sessions all made using paper and exploring a variety of techniques including collage, paper cuts, quilling, folding and origami.
Below is a very short video that was made in one of the workshop sessions, demonstrating to pupils how their paper shadow puppet could be manipulated to create a stop motion film.
