Combine the artistry of handmaking paper with painting! In this unique workshop, you will learn how to pull your own sheets of paper and then use colored pulp to “paint” into the surface of your sheet. No drawing or painting skills necessary. This class will cover various pulp painting techniques, including stencils, collage inclusions, and direct painting. Techniques for making paper at home will also be addressed. Each student will take their handmade sheets home after they have completely dried.
Ages 10+. 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.

Working with the knowledge of sheet forming from our Introduction class, participants will pull their own sheets of paper, and, working with items such as string, yarn, leaves, fronds, pieces of cloth, paper, etc. placed items between fresh wet sheets of hand made paper to be pressed and dried. (No glitter or tinsel, please). Items need to be essentially flat, as they will go through a strong press. The surface of the paper may also be worked on as well. Let the imagination take over and enjoy the process.
Participants should be prepared to get a bit wet as we are all in water up to our elbows and wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
Ages 10+.
Pre-requisite: Introduction to Paper Making, or with previous experience and by instructor permission.

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.
Ages 10+. 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.
