Papermaking Workshop
Art + Wellness | Available
This workshop guides students in making handmade paper and creating a one-of-a-kind bound book.
The first day of the workshop, students will learn to make paper with papermaker Nicole Uzzell. We will start with vats of cotton rag pulp and alpaca pulp, pull standard 8 1/2" x 11" sheets, then press before drying naturally. These sheets will serve as the inside pages of the book. In the afternoon, we will make accent papers that will serve as the book cover sheets.
One the second day of the workshop, students will learn how to create a Japanese Box Stitch Book. After the covers have been designed, students will bind their books then embellish them.
Students are encouraged to bring photos, print postcards, collage items and other embellishments to decorate their books.
Workshop cost includes use of all equipment and a supply kit. Instructor will break for lunch each day. Age 14 and up.
