Questions About Mexican Paper Mache
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Paper mache has its roots in China, with the inventors of paper itself. It then became popular in Europe, and it was through the Spaniards that paper mache entered Mexico. In Mexico, cartoneria or paper-mache sculptures are a traditional craft that goes back to the colonial period when the Spanish brought the art overseas. Shop a range of antique and modern paper mache on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    One papier-mâché method uses paper pulp that’s created by soaking and boiling paper, and then a glue is added to get it to stick. The other method of doing papier-mâché involved taking strips of paper and gluing them together or layering the strips. Both methods require some sort of reinforcement to hold their shape. Find a collection of papier-mâché products on 1stDibs.
