Code R1212-26
This five-day course investigates the possibilities of handmade paper. Focusing on techniques working with cotton fiber of various lengths, students learn basic sheet forming and its science and history, two-dimensional applications of additive wet paper pulp techniques, developing layered imagery through cut stencils and hand applied pulp, blowout techniques, and pigmenting. Students learn to apply this knowledge in combination with traditional printmaking techniques, such as combining wet paper pulp imagery with watercolor monoprints. Students also learn basic laminate casting potentials.
