Layer textile, photographic, and other soft collage elements, concurrently building a narrative alongside the development of your handmade paper artwork! In this all levels papermaking workshop, participants will learn how to make paper with a focus on translucent abaca and flax fiber to best highlight their personal embedded and collaged elements. Techniques covered will include creating veils, double couching, bottle application of pulp, and creating shaped sheets. We’ll also cover techniques to work on both the recto and the verso (front and back) of wet sheets of handmade paper, a technique that can be used for artists books or other works one might desire to have information on both sides.
