Community Workshop Facilitated by Juan Pablo Hernández Gutiérrez

Cloning and Paper Clay




Sunday August 27, 2023 at 2 - 4 PM
Gardiner Museum

This workshop aims to explore the subversive potential of copying as an intentional tool. 

By utilizing paper clay as a medium and DIY piñata techniques, participants will delve into the concept of copying as a means of artistic expression, enabling them to challenge conventions, ignite their imagination, find alternative paths to artifacts, and foster critical thinking skills.

The workshop will:
  • Provide hands-on experience with paper clay, enabling participants to explore its unique properties and versatility
  • Encourage reflection on the ethical considerations surrounding the act of copying in art and society
  • Empower participants to embrace their individuality and use copying to express their unique perspectives
