Creative Activities
From an idea to a personalized and unique object, created with your hands.
A holiday, a weekend, or even a single day: however much of your time is available, dedicate it to learning but above all to rediscovering and expressing your creativity and your desire to do and to be, transmitting emotions and telling a story, through maybe the use of simple or recycled materials.
The Creative Activities of Arco Arte are born from the idea that EVERY PERSON can live their creativity through different MATERIALS, and through the manipulation of the same they can be able to express themselves and realize an idea, a product, a unique and creative object, perhaps to give as a gift, to loved ones, or to enjoy them every day.
WEAVING WITH PAPER STRAWS
The Paper Straw Weaving Course allows you to acquire the weaving techniques to make baskets, placemats, lamps, lanterns, jewels, home decorations, baskets for your pets and much more with infinite shapes, models and dimensions, all creatively RECYCLING a now precious material: PAPER .
To carry out the work, you can use the daily newspapers, magazines, gift wrapping paper or books that you are fond of but that you may never re-read, and therefore ... what better idea than to transform them into creative green objects? Recovering an ancient craftsmanship, that of the basket maker, they will go to resume the same movements with their hands, doing just this mantra with a distant flavor.
The experience is suitable for both BEGINNERS (for those starting from scratch, therefore) and for those who want to refine the technique or finish. The student will obviously go home with his own creation!
Modules of 6 hours each:
LEVEL 1: You’ll learn to build paper straws and to make your first basket, final protection included
LEVEL 2: You’ll perfect the weaving by applying multiple techniques of varied effect and difficulty, final protection included
LEVEL 3: Compose more complex shapes, ultimate protection included
