“As a paper craft artist, I've always wanted to explore more local crafts that involve paper. I had made a series of paper craft artworks with a Japanese theme, however it didn't feel connected to me. I wanted something more Filipino, something that felt connected to me. So when I heard there was going to be a pabalat workshop near me I didn't have a second thought about joining. I learned a more efficient way to cut papers with lace-like designs on more delicate paper.”
