INTRO TO HIGH SHRINKAGE FIBER / Sculptural Papermaking 2-part workshop 

Sunday, July 19 10am - 1 pm OR 2 pm - 5 pm

Day 1: Demos + experimentation, 3-hour session (morning or afternoon, 4 participants per session) 

We will use high-shrinkage flax and abaca fibers for sheetforming as well as stretching over basic armatures. High shrinkage fibers are utilized to make extremely thin, strong, and translucent sheets of paper, ideally suited for embedding 2-dimensional imagery or used as a sculptural material. Students will form 2 dimensional sheets of paper and be guided through constructing basic armatures or using found objects as armatures. All necessary materials will be provided, but students can also bring their own materials to experiment with.
