Amazing Stunning Paper Sculptures by Allen & Patty Eckman

Wonderful Stunning Paper Sculptures by Allen & Patty Eckman: In 1987 Allen Eckman stumbled onto cast paper as a fine art medium and instantly recognized the beauty and possibilities for creating high detail, strong, acid free, pure, fine art sculpture. It took the Eckmans many years to unlock the secrets to the medium. Discoveries included paper formulation, equipment and tool innovations and their unique paper processing methods. All this was necessary to create the dimension, strength, hardness, textures and detail that are clearly visible in Eckman pieces.

It takes a lot of room and special equipment including pulping stations, presses, dehydrators, tools etc. as well as years of technical knowledge just to make the paper. You cannot get where Patty and Allen Eckman are by pulping cotton linters in your kitchen blender or trying to make other store bought papers work.

The fun and ease of the Eckman Method is in sculpting and creating beautiful works of fine art with Eckman paper, tools and techniques. So it is back to school for learning how to sculpt the way they do it. By taking the project lessons in order and putting into practice what you have learned, you can reach your maximum God given talent level!

The process taught through the Eckman Method® includes working with museum quality hand made Eckman paper and bonding agents, using casts from Eckman paper pulp, then altering and transforming them into finished works of art using Eckman techniques such as forms, templates, other casts and freehand sculpting with various hand made paper products and tools manufactured by Eckman Fine Art.
