Paper pulp painting is an art form in which an image or design, using bottles of dyed cotton pulp, can be collaged, poured or molded onto a previously formed sheet of paper. Students will learn the basics of sheet formation, as well as techniques for embellishing bare sheets into works of art. When dried, the colored pulp is actually part of the paper, and can stand alone as a piece of art or can be used in creating a hand-bound book or other mixed media creation. This class will cover various pulp printing techniques, including stencils, collage inclusions, and direct painting. Techniques for making paper at home will also be discussed. Each student will be able to take their handmade sheets home after they have completely dried.

Adults 18+. No prior experience necessary. Be prepared to have arms in water and wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

This class serves as a prerequisite for advanced papermaking classes, such as Papermaking with Natural Inclusions.
