Artist-led Workshop | Sculptural Paper Relief with Han Sai Por

Draw inspiration from nature’s forms to create contoured terrains on paper with Han Sai Por. 

Learn from the Cultural Medallion artist in this hands-on workshop, inspired by the sculptural qualities of her STPI works. Guided by Han, participants will learn to construct low-relief landscape moulds and cover it in patterned gampi paper, creating a dynamic paper relief that recalls topographical forms in the natural world.   

Recommended for ages 16 and above. 

Participants are kindly requested to prepare a simple line sketch of a landscape (12 cm x 20 cm) for this workshop.  

Learning Takeaways: 

• Glean insights into Han Sai Por’s residency at STPI, where she explored print and paper techniques to express natural forms
• Compose abstract landscapes by layering gampi paper with printed patterns on sculptural moulds
• Create low-relief objects that merge printmaking and collage

Step 1: Constructing a Relief Mould 

• Assemble and layer shaped cutouts to build a topographic mould

Step 2: Layering Printed Patterns on the Mould 

• Adhere layers of gampi paper with printed patterns onto the mould to create a dynamic landscape

Step 3:  Peel and Reveal

• Gently remove the sculpted composition from the mould to unveil your textured landscape
