Questions About Paper Mache Puppets
  • 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.
