This decorative technique integrates a combination of Japanese or handmade papers from 5gr to 40gr in overlapping layers, creating transparencies and smooth reliefs. Sol will demonstrate which adhesives are appropriate to work with the quality of these papers and how to create clean cuts in this sensitive material. She will also show some decoration techniques with foil.
