Papier-mâché (without the mess!)

Tutor: Rachel Moore, print artist

Papier-mâché is perfect for children to stretch their imagination and make fabulous sculptures. However, it can be a little messy and it can take days to dry. Say hello to a quicker (almost) mess free solution as Rachel shows you how to get the same great results from materials and equipment you may already have at home.

Preparation

Prepare your materials and find a sturdy table or floor to work on.
