Lala Thorpe, manager and workshop leader at Artescape, used a Giant Foldedsheet with Yuri Suzuki, a sound artist, designer and electronic musician. Lala was “inspired” to invite him following a talk at the Arts Catalyst Kosmica night…
“Kids at Artescape working on the giant folded sheet… finally dared to unwrap the beauty!! I invited Yuri Suzuki to talk to the kids about his work and demonstrate one of his designs. They all loved it… he had a thing called a Colour Chaser which followed a drawn black line and then responded to different colours drawn in its path with sound.”
We only have one Giant Foldedsheet left now – please get in touch if you wish to order one from us directly.
Artist Luce Choules, working with the Faversham Sea Cadets, used a Giant Foldedsheet to map part of the Saxon Shore Way around Faversham Creek. The drawing part of the map is complete, but the whole map is a work in progress. The cadets documented parts of the SS Way using photography to capture points of interest along the creek. They will add more of their photographs over the coming months to fill the sheet during their 70th year anniversary celebrations. The map formed part of the exhibition ‘Tide′ at Creek Creative, Faversham in March 2012.
We have a limited number of the Giant Foldedsheets – please get in touch if you wish to order one from us directly.
Sarah Plumb, Project Manager: Learning and Partnerships at Modern Art Oxford, used a Giant Foldedsheet over the weekend in the gallery’s ‘Mapping Memory’ event…
“The Big Draw event was very successful with over 40 people attending between 12-4pm. The paper worked fantastically well in the space and during the workshop, led by artist Bram Arnold.”
The gallery’s event was part of the Campaign for Drawing’s ‘Big Draw 2011′. Inspired by the Kerry Tribe and Abraham Cruzvillegas exhibitions, the event encouraged participants to create a giant map of Oxford from memory.
Participants get busy mapping in the Learning Room… see more images from the day here.

Jodie Henshaw, Development Officer at Mansfield Museum, has just returned from a Sure Start Family Open Day where they used their Giant Foldedsheet today…
“This took place on a very sunny school field in the heart of Mansfield. I took the folded piece of paper with me and invited the families to add themselves to the paper to create a giant mural. The kids had a wonderful time, drawing, cutting and sticking!”
The event was part of the museum’s ‘Mega Mural’ in National Families Week.
Here are the first kids to arrive on the scene…

We delivered two of our new Giant Foldedsheets to Turner Contemporary in Margate last week. One of the sheets is being used by artist Lucy Steggals with the intergenerational group Blank Canvas, who are staging a huge project to celebrate the opening of the Learning Studio at this prestigious new gallery.
Made of 315gsm archival acid free drawing paper, these enormous sheets measure in at 2.4 x 4m! The folded size of these sheets are 80 x 120cm – which means they can be folded away to be archived and stored after they have been used… or perhaps they could go on tour! To get an idea of the size of the sheets…
the orange label shown in the image is A4 in size…
and when the sheets are unfolded they take up the space of 9 large tables!
