Make paper ghosts that appear and vanish. In this holiday workshop with artist Rachel Deville, children draw, fold, glue and cut paper to chase playful spectres hiding under sheets. Using charcoal, ink wash and gouache, participants explore smudges, translucent layers and crisp edges to reveal shapes between pages. Little hands experiment with texture, color and movement as shadows shift and paper creaks, turning simple marks into ghostly friends.
