Papier-mâché is an art technique that involves creating objects by layering strips of paper soaked in glue or a paste onto a mold or framework. Once the layers are applied, the paper is allowed to dry and harden, forming a solid and lightweight structure. This technique can be used to make various items, such as masks, sculptures, and decorative objects. The result is a durable and versatile material that can be painted and finished to create detailed and creative designs.
