Let light be your paintbrush.
Discover the magic of light and shadow in this hands-on workshop where paper becomes a storytelling medium. Using layered silhouettes and a simple light source, you'll create an illuminated shadow artwork that reveals depth, movement, and dramatic effects when displayed.
Whether you design a peaceful nature scene, a fantasy landscape, or something completely your own, you'll learn techniques for layering, composition, and creating artwork that transforms when the lights dim.
No artistic experience is required—just bring your imagination. We'll provide everything you need, along with step-by-step guidance to help you create a finished piece you'll be proud to display.
What You'll Create
You'll design and assemble your own illuminated shadow art display featuring layered paper artwork inside a custom frame. Once completed, simply shine a light through your creation to reveal stunning shadows and depth that change the way your artwork is experienced.
Every project is unique, making this workshop perfect for artists, hobbyists, families, and anyone who enjoys creating something a little unexpected.
