The fold as a design element (Gijón, Asturias, Spain)

[Translated directly from the Spanish page]

The workshop follows a practical methodology guided through exercises that will allow participants to incorporate, at the beginning, the theoretical basis of the folding process and at the same time achieve the skill in handling the material.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to understand the theoretical and practical foundations that underlie the process of folding the paper linked to creation . They will be able to recognize and understand the graphic representation of a folded three-dimensional structure and generate their own three-dimensional structures.

Instructor: Dario Zeruto graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the Higher Polytechnic Institute of Havana. From a very young age he began his training in a self-taught way in the field of Fiber Arts, making this training more rigorous when he came into contact with indigenous women from Suriki Island (Bolivia) where he learned ancestral weaving techniques.

Since then he has continuously researched the intersection between the textile techniques, the volumetry of the paper and the book as an object his own modality of artistic expression. He has exhibited in Spain, France, Italy and Serbia. He works between Barcelona and Milan.
