UPDATE: The Printing Museum is taking recommended safety precautions regarding COVID-19 and we will be closed to the public through the end of March. We regret that this means this workshop will be cancelled. If you have purchased tickets for this workshop, our staff will be reaching out to you with options. We will still be available to serve our community by telephone and email, and continue to closely watch the developing situation. Stay healthy, Houston!

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 print 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. No prior experience necessary.

Be prepared to have arms in water and wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
