The Creacarta Workshop was founded by Carmela Piccininno in the Namur area. She is paper, plastician and teacher in Visual arts. She was also photographer and worked in particular for Théatre de Namur. Paper is the great passion of Carmela Piccininno who does'nt hesitate to put it in all its states!
The Creacarta Workshop entirely carried by Carmela Piccininno works paper as many years ago. Indeed, paper is manufactured with the hand without any press. The artist transforms advertising papers or photocopies intended for recycling into a paste in which she adds spices (flowers of saffron, nutmeg, curcuma or of the curry). The creativity of Carmela Piccininno is unbounded. Indeed, she doesn't hesitate to add shavings, flowers or other natural elements who will astonish. The tank of the Creacarta Workshop always invites to create and to discover new ideas which will impress everyone!
Carmela Piccininno carries out all that is in report with paper and more particularly of the announcements personalized for the marriages, the births, the birthdays,… The Creacarta Workshop also produces paper executives.
Several weekend each year, Carmela Piccininno organizes creative training courses in order to discover a matter very interesting and ignored: paper !
“What I like in hand made paper, it's its almost nothing… Its brittleness, its texture, its transitory aspect…”
“If the song is the music of the heart, paper in is its caress… Flexible, solid and fragile at the same time, it has same qualities as the human being. It is its mirror…” Quotes from Carmela Piccininno
