Expressive Pulp Painting – Candy Gonzalez

Dates:  July 21 – July 25, 2025
Studio: Papermaking
Tuition: Sliding Scale, $450 – $1300
Lab Fee: $150
Class limit: 6

Through demos, embodied inquiry-based investigation and open studio time, participants will expand their papermaking practice by experimenting with contemporary pulp painting techniques. Participants will learn the mechanics of working with various fibers in pulp painting, to make pulp paints from start to finish and to build an expansive pulp paint palette. Participants will learn various pulp painting techniques, and will learn to incorporate stenciling, wet collaging and blowout techniques in their work. During open studio time, participants will have the opportunity to create a series of work that serves as an exploration of pulp painting as an expressive art form. This workshop is intended for people who have made paper before.
