Make it Wild: A Rediscovery of Cardboard with Samantha Soper

Through guided instruction, students will learn to craft basic three-dimensional shapes from two-dimensional material. Starting with paper and working towards the use of recycled cardboard, students will create sculptures of their own design and desired scale within a two-hour time frame. These sculptures might range anywhere in topic from up-scale cassette tapes to small scale fairy homes. The only things you can’t build out of cardboard are the things you can’t think of.

This class will take place from 6 – 8 p.m. on March 4, in the Museum Classroom.

Make it Wild courses are open to adults and young adults with beginner to intermediate abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during this interactive program.

About the artist:
At a young age, Samantha Soper knew she wanted to be an artist. Samantha was born and raised in the mountains and has always been strongly inspired by her natural surroundings. An avid adventurer, Samantha has traveled to destinations as far reached as Italy, Scotland, Ireland, and Thailand and draws inspiration from both the fantastic stories told across the globe, and those told close to home. As an interdisciplinary artist focusing largely on the world of fantasy, she hopes to share with others a unique view of the world and of the magic she perceives as existing within it.
