Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a small series about the history of papercraft, trying to trace how we went from paper as a material to actual assembled paper models.
This is not meant to be a definitive or academic take, but rather a personal exploration based on references and observations, looking at how different techniques, materials and cultural contexts gradually contributed to what we now recognize as papercraft.
I know this is a simplified overview, but I tried to keep it readable and connected to papercraft itself.
The idea is to expand this gradually, exploring different periods and regions over time.
I thought it could be interesting to share here and also get feedback from people who know more about the subject.
Part 1: The History Of Papercraft - Part 01 - From The Origins Of Paper To The Gutenberg Press
Part 2: The History Of Papercraft - Part 02 - From Paper In Japan To The Origins Of Printed Images
If you see anything inaccurate or have additional info, I’d really appreciate it.
