Paper on Skin is a creative initiative based in Tasmania, Australia that invites artists to design wearable art garments, with at least 80% of the material being paper. The project aims to create a "paper wonderland," a sensory-rich environment made entirely from paper, showcasing the versatility and artistic potential of this medium. By creating this immersive environment, the organizers hope to highlight the creative possibilities of paper art on a grand scale. The initiative includes various awards to recognize outstanding contributions in wearable art, such as the Paper on Skin Major Award and the Designer Dreaming Award. Additionally, it features workshops led by experienced paper artists, fostering community engagement and skill development in papermaking and paper art. This project is supported by local arts funding and aims to culminate in an exhibition that highlights the creative works produced during the workshops.
