Paper sculptures vary widely from the humble paper airplane to the more exotic fantasy and 3-D landscapes. The tools you need are surprisingly simple. You just have to master cutting paper.

Paper sculptures vary widely from the humble paper airplane to the more exotic fantasy and 3-D landscapes. The tools you need are surprisingly simple. You just have to master cutting paper.

According to Japanese paper sculpture artist Tsuneo Taniuchi, “It is a process that evolves from moment to moment, in relation to the space it inhabits.”

Now, you can discover this process at the Volcano Art Center’s Paper Sculpture Workshop with Tsuneo Taniuchi from 1:30-4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 19. The fee for the three-hour workshop is $20 and includes supplies.

Attendees need to bring basic scissors, a glue stick and a stapler. Call Volcano Art Center at 967-8222 or visit www.volcanoartcenter.org to register.

Taniuchi designed the popular Kurosawa storyboard exhibit at the Cannes Film Festival. In addition he has had numerous solo shows in Japan.
