Following Brickman’s presentation, participants will enjoy creating a small, three-dimensional paper sculpture of their own using Robin’s cut and sculpted paper techniques.  This hands-on workshop is open to teens and adults who want to learn an accessible technique for creating their own three-dimensional art out of paper.  All workshop materials will be provided.  Brickman will also host a book signing, and several titles she has illustrated, including Leaflets Three, Let it Be!, will be available for purchase in RTPI’s museum store.
