Tuesday, May 12 @ 7 pm - 9pm (8 participants)
Beginning with the mold and deckle, students will learn the basics of Western hand papermaking: the tools and materials used, the properties of various paper pulps, the art of pulling sheets of paper, and embedding objects such as thread, ribbon, found text/images, or natural plant materials in our handmade papers. We will create a couple of sheets of beautiful handmade paper from cotton and abaca fibers, experimenting with inclusions (embedded objects). These papers, once dry, can be used for bookmaking, printmaking, drawing, or they can be finished works of art on their own!
This workshop is the pre-requisite for open studio sessions for those who want to work on personal projects in the future.
