Windows, Wells, and Walls: Stencils and Masking in Handmade Paper


  • Women's Studio Workshop 722 Binnewater Lane Kingston, NY, 12401 United States (map)

In this all levels papermaking workshop, participants will learn how to make paper using a variety of fibers and incorporate stenciled imagery using hand-cut stencils and pigmented pulp paint. We’ll begin with the basics of sheet-forming and an overview of the stenciling process to create a roadmap for each participant’s work. Participants will work with the instructor to choose papermaking fibers and stenciling methods to best suit their envisioned artwork or sampler. Stenciling techniques will include brush application, bottle application, washes, as well as masking techniques to create layered effects in desired and protect others. This process will encourage participants to experiment and invoke creative problem solving to express their unique vision through the art of hand papermaking.
