Incoming Workshop: Character Creation on Wooden Dolls for Kids and Teens

Date: Friday, August 23, 2024
Instructor: Niloufar Ataeifar
Fee: 8,000,000 IRR
Location: Adapa Gallery, Tehran

Join my creative workshop designed for kids and teenagers, where we’ll explore the art of character design by painting on raw wooden dolls. These dolls, which resemble large chess pawns, will be provided by the gallery. Each participant will have the opportunity to transform their wooden figure into a unique character with their own custom design and personality.

Throughout the workshop, I’ll guide participants through the entire process, helping them bring their creative visions to life. We’ll start with sketching ideas on paper and then move on to painting the wooden dolls, developing both character-making and painting skills along the way. No prior experience is needed.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own pencils, paper, and other drawing materials. To register or get more information, please contact Adapa Gallery on Telegram at @Adapa_Gallery.

Exploring the Art of Paper-Cut Portraits at Adapa Gallery

On the afternoon of August 16, I had the pleasure of leading a paper-cut introduction workshop at Adapa Gallery in Tehran. This hands-on session was an exciting dive into the world of paper cutting, where participants learned the fundamentals of working with scalpels and cardboard to create intricate, layered portraits.

In three hours, each participant was guided through the process of designing and crafting their own paper-cut portrait. We began by exploring the basic principles of using a scalpel for precise cuts, then moved on to layering the cut pieces using two-sided tape. By carefully stacking the layers, participants were able to create a dynamic piece of art that, when framed and backlit, allowed light to pass through at different intensities. This technique beautifully simulates outlines and contrast, bringing each portrait to life with varying hues and depths.

A Journey from Concept to Creation: My Second Lino Printing Workshop at Sad Art Gallery

On Friday August 16, I had the honor of leading another lino printing workshop at Sad Art Gallery in Tehran that turned out to be a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. With around 10 participants we had a journey from concept to crafting a sustainable applicable atrpiece, transforming ideas into beautifully printed tote bags.

The process was both challenging and pleasing. We started with simple sketches, which participants then transferred on their own linoleum sheets. The next step was carving out their designs using tools like scalples and chisels. Once the lino stamps were ready, participants added paint and brought their designs to life on tote bags with small sponges.

What stood out to me most was the diversity of the group. Many of the participants came from non-artistic fields, yet they approached the artistic process with such passion and creativity. It was fascinating to watch them uncover their hidden talents and express themselves in ways they hadn’t before.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide such a diverse group through this creative process at Sad Art Gallery. Watching them bring their artistic visions to life was a truly rewarding experience.

Unleashing Creativity through Lino Printing at Sad Art Gallery

Last Friday, I had the chance to host a Lino printing workshop at Sad Art Gallery in Tehran, bringing together an incredible group of participants, many of whom came from backgrounds like engineering and medicine. It was truly inspiring to see how these individuals, often more accustomed to analytical mindsets, embraced the creative process with enthusiasm and curiosity.

During the workshop, we explored every step of the Lino printing process. Participants began by sketching their designs, which were then transferred on linoleum sheets. From there, they carved their designs by small chisels, transforming simple sketches into intricate stamps. With their unique stamps in hand, participants applied fabric paint and carefully printed their creations onto tote bags.

The final results were truly amazing. Each tote bag was the reflection of the individual’s style and creativity, with designs ranging from abstract patterns to more detailed illustrations. I was especially proud to see how everyone found their own way to translate their ideas into tangible art. This workshop at Sad Art Gallery was a reminder that creativity knows no boundaries, and it was a privilege for me to lead such talented individuals in discovering their artistic potentials.
