Learn how to use the right paper to get the effects you desire. Water-based ink, Golden Open Acrylics or fluid acrylics can be used with Gelli Plates. Gelli Plates will be provided for in-class use.

Japanese Papermaking

DATES : Saturday, July 29, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.**

This workshop includes lunch at 1 p.m.

FACULTY: JoAnne Laudolff

TUITION COST: $130

Dive into the process of traditional Japanese Papermaking. We will use the three main fibers of Japan: Kozo, Gampi, and Mitsumata. These plants possess long fibers that produce delicate and unique papers. We will start from the beginning, beating the fibers by hand. After learning the nuances of each plant, we will make paper using a sugeta or mold and deckle. We will add color to the pulp as well as natural dried flowers, silk thread, and other organic materials. All of these components encourage students to create one-ofa-kind papers. The paper we produce can be used for mixed media work, bookmaking, sculpting, or appreciated as a work of art in and of itself.

This workshop will cover the process of making recycled handmade paper using DIY techniques that can be easily brought into a home studio. The workshop will focus on sheet forming and the instructors will pre-process pulp, but the instructors will provide indepth instruction on how each vat can be recreated. We will discuss intentional use of materials as it relates to subject matter and the power of DIY processes.

By taking our sister workshop, Printmaking To-Go , you can use your handmade paper to create beautiful DIY lino-cut prints and simple books.

Sincerely

Yours: The Creative Process in Correspondence

DATES : FOUR DAYS

Tuesday–Friday, August 15–18, 2–5 p.m.

FACULTY: Anders Zanichkowsky

TUITION COST: $210

When was the last time you had a lovely conversation with a work of art?

Interviewed a stranger?

Surprised yourself when you answered a question?

Think about something you’ve enjoyed making these past few pandemic years: a birthday cake, a snowman, a watercolor painting... What might you reveal to yourself if you wrote about it in a letter? In this workshop, we will use the personal address to help us think through our own creative process through experiments in unusual writing formats, personal correspondence, and the art of unconventional dialogue. We will turn those reflections into works on paper through cyanotype, monotype, and other printmaking processes and then send our findings out into the world (via the US Postal Service) to nurture the connections that support our curiosity.

** Workshop include lunch at 1 p.m. each day.
