Through recycling and repurposing, we will utilize papermaking as a way to rethink and revive “waste”. Let’s explore the power of handmade paper! Participants will learn a wide range of handmade paper techniques from processing recycled materials into pulp, sheet formation, and image production like embossment, pulp painting, color, stencils, found objects, and stitching. 

Learn how to incorporate objects such as seeds, coins, string, and beads to make both physical and conceptual marks on paper artworks. Turn existing paper ephemera like newspapers, letters, and more into either a standalone art piece or a substrate for new work! In this week-long workshop, we can shape and layer our own stories into paper.
