Description: If you are interested in working independently in the BookWorks paper studio, and would like to prepare via a one-week intensive, this is the class for you.
In the first two days, you’ll learn techniques for forming sheets of handmade paper using pulp prepared in our Reina paper beater. We’ll look at examples of how handmade papers are used in artwork, book arts, printmaking, cards and envelopes. As papermaking is a physically demanding job, we’ll have a break day on the Wednesday, followed by three days of focus on the use of the paper beater as well as continued improvement in sheet formation. Using various fibers, participants will become comfortable with the use of beater with a special emphasis on safety.
Please bring the following items:
For class, wear rubber-soled shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting wet.
