While surfing the Internet, Yaira Zigelman came across information on how to build furniture out of cardboard. She makes everything from cardboard: a chest, living room tables, couches, you name it… and she brings it home.
Yaira Zigelman在上网时,偶然看到如何用硬纸板制作家俱的资讯。她用硬纸板制作任何东西:柜子、客厅桌子、沙发,只要你讲的出来的,都可以在她家看到。

[Yaira Zigelman, Furniture Maker]:
“Here there are five boards of cardboard, glued to a stand wrapped in paper… you see it here in the first layer of color, but of course one or two layers will pass until I’ll arrive at a satisfactory color, which will tell me, ‘This is it, now just varnish and no more touching.’”
[ Yaira Zigelman ,家俱制造者]:
“这里是5个硬纸板黏成一个用纸包装的架子...这里你看到第一层的颜色,当然会有一或二层会被略过,直到我觉到达到满意的颜色,它会告诉我,“就是这个颜色,现在只要上光,不要触碰它。”

As an artist, Zigelman holds workshops on creating works of art out of cardboard. One of Zigelman’s students talks about her experience.
身为一位艺术家,Zigelman办了一个用硬纸板创作艺术品的工作室。其中一位Zigelma的学生谈到自己的经验。

[Inbal Smith, Student]:
“This is terribly creative, like taking a piece of cardboard and doing something with it that one really wants to. I have a fantasy of becoming a carpenter, which has not materialized just yet. One day, I’ll come to it, for sure. It is really close to this, it is actually building a piece of furniture with the simple resources available at home.”

[Inbal Smith,学生]:
“这非常有创意,就是拿一块硬纸板,用它做出你想做的东西。我有一个成为木匠的梦想,到现在还没有实现。有一天,我一定会达成。这实在很接近我的梦想,事实上真的只是用家里垂手可得的简单资源,做出一件家俱。

Zigelman says one of the best things about teaching is seeing her students grow.
Zigelman说,有关教学最棒的其中一件事,是看到她学生成长。

[Yaira Zigelman, Furniture Maker]:
[ Yaira Zigelman ,家俱制造者]:

“One of the most enjoyable parts for me is to pass this on. It suits everyone, it suits both adults and children…This is so simple to do. It is to teach a technique, so that others will be able to do it on their own afterward.”
“对我来说最享受的其中一部分,是将它传递下去。它适合每一个人,适合大人与小孩..很简单就可以做到。这是教一种技术,以便其它人之后可以自己运用。
