Learn to fold the Miura pattern and its various forms with artist Jeff Morrical. The pattern forms the basis of much of the artist’s sculptural work and within a few variations and combinations on the theme can create a wide variety of results.  Attendees will first be walked through tutorials on the pattern and can then combine and apply what they have learned in their own creative process to create a finished sculpture of their own.

This program is part of the Wende Bauhaus series, in which local artists lead hands-on classes inspired by the Bauhaus school’s learning-by-doing philosophy and its spirit of experimentation, play, and discovery.

About the teaching artist: The work of LA-based artist Jeff Morrical incorporates single-sheet paper sculptures shaped by folds and gravity. From many years working in the world of architecture, finding form, structure and pattern in everyday materials has always been a driving force in his work. While his artwork generally falls into the world of sculpture, the pieces can become canvas, costuming and props for movement and performance, toys for play, screens for projection – abundant possibilities in one of the world’s most ubiquitous and humble materials. He’s now on a mission to unlock the geometric properties latent in every sheet of material, one fold at a time.
