Explore the infinite possibilities of embedding, coloring, and lamination in this hands-on introduction to the basic techniques of western paper making! Students will engage in paper making practices as they learn how to form sheets with moulds and deckles, pulp painting/pouring, and embedding materials such as flower petals, leaves, and fibers.

Over the course of two days, students will work with various plant fibers suitable for paper making, including cotton, hemp, and abaca as well as recycled materials. The workshop will include discussion, instructor demonstrations, and in-class guided student work.
