No prior experience is necessary for this course.
Embedded in the pigments, pulp, and paper baths is where you’ll find this 3-day, All-Levelsworkshop, Get Pulped – Papermaking in 2D and 3D.
This class dives right into a practice that transcends time, invites playful exploration, and promotes sustainability.Students will apply their learnings about molds and deckles, pigmentation, beating pulp, couching, additives, and decorative techniques to both plant fiber and recycled waste to create one-of-a-kind sheets of paper.
In this workshop, 2D techniques evolve into 3D, and time will be dedicated to experimenting with approaches to paper casting.
Throughout the class, students will have the opportunity to work independently between instructor demonstrations, with an emphasis on creative freedom, communication, and unlimited possibilities.
There is a $25 materials fee payable to the instructor on the first day of the workshop.
Students should wear shoes you are comfortable getting wet. Rubber or latex-free gloves that cover the forearm.
Students Should Bring:
Discarded paper, any object or material for casting, anything you’d want to put in your paper.
