[asp_product id=”35272″]
This class will cover the basics of papermaking with an emphasis on surface exploration. We will focus on methods to create imagery within the sheet covering techniques related to embedding, watermarking, and blowouts. Participants are encouraged to experiment as they consider multiple approaches to each process working with stencils, dimensional drawing, and even physical objects to create images and leave impressions. The product from this class may range from stacks of experimental sheets, to a series folio editions, or pieces that may be developed further through drawing and printmaking outside the workshop.
Students will learn how to beat paper, proper sheet formation, and how to work with pigments. They will learn to use overbeaten fibers and explore a range of different drying methods. We will also discuss alternative methods of working for those participants who do not have easy access to a professional paper studio.
