For nearly 2,000 years, until the mid-1800s, all of the world’s paper was made by hand. In this 2-day, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the steps involved in traditional papermaking, from pulping and sheet forming, to pressing and drying. Master a mould and deckle and explore artistic techniques such as laminations, veils, inclusions, and knockouts. Create papers to make your own stationery, envelopes, cards, and wrapping paper or to use as base material for bookmaking, printmaking, origami, collage and drawing. No prior experience is necessary.Students will learn about the history of hand papermaking and each step involved in paper creation, from fiber harvesting and cooking to sheet formation and several drying techniques. They will learn how charge pulp vats, form sheets with a mould and deckle, and then couch, press and dry their handmade sheets. They will also learn several artistic techniques beyond simple sheet formation, including laminations, inclusions, knockouts and veils. Each student will walk away with a stack of paper they made themselves, and can pick up their Day 2 papers a few days later.
