The distinctive quality of handmade paper inspires many uses. In this course we will, not only make paper but print on it, exploring how handmade paper can be used in printmaking. You’ll learn techniques for forming sheets of handmade paper using pulp prepared in our Reina beater. After our paper has been made, we’ll move into the printmaking studio to make monoprints using the etching press. Monoprinting is a technique that produces unique prints in a variable series or single prints from plexiglass. This class will familiarize you with our new hand papermaking facility and the BookWorks printmaking studio.

• For papermaking,  rubber-soled shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting wet.
