Experiments in Papermaking

Jun 28 - Jul 2, 2021

9AM-5PM

Concept

This exploratory papermaking workshop introduces participants to the extensive and malleable world of papermaking without the expensive and inaccessible facilities that prohibit artists from the process. Pulp painting, paper casting, alternative fibers and play are at the core of this inventive and experimental workshop. Through demos, collaborative making and DIY approaches to papermaking, the course offers techniques and strategies for papermaking that can be wielded at home, in your community or in the studio. In addition to making and casting paper, basic bookbinding techniques are introduced.

Media

Pulp painting, stencil pulp painting, pulp dying techniques, introduction to alternative and locally scavenged fibers, paper casting, basic bookbinding skills and DIY approaches to papermaking methods
