Pulp Pigmenting & Blowouts – Jaz Graf

Dates: July 13 – 17, 2026
Studio: Papermaking
Tuition: Sliding Scale, $450 – $1300
Lab fee: $150
Class limit: 6

Learn how to mix aqueous pigments with cotton and abaca pulps to customize your handmade paper. Consider the physical, conceptual and optical aspects of color to express your attitude! Ranging from analogous to color clashing schemes, we will generate imagery through stenciling, pulp painting and fluid washes. Break free from the rectangle by creating shaped, deckled edges with blowouts. Juxtapose unexpected combinations of wild color and design to set the mood. All levels.

Papermaking is a wet process; participants should be prepared with waterproof or water-safe shoes and clothing. This workshop will involve prolonged periods of standing, often requiring repeated movements in the upper body, and the maneuvering of heavy items.

This workshop is currently in the week-long members-only registration period. Registration will open to the public on February 4th.
