Monday: Sheet Forming Fiber/pulp preparation, sheetforming, and drying technique overview. Coloring of pulp, translucency and opacity, use of formation and coagulant to create special effects. Participants will make their own watermarks. Tuesday & Wednesday: Pulp pouring and pulp painting On the first day of this 2-day workshop students will form 30" x 40" sheets using the pulp pouring mould, a fully self contained system for making large paper without using a vat. The second day we explore the world of image making in hand papermaking through a technique known as pulp painting. Finely beaten and pigmented bleached flax will be applied to the base sheet using squeeze bottles, paint brushes, stencils, and watercolor pencil transfers. Participants will create a complete work in handmade paper and learn ways of editioning pulp painted works. A drawing to work from is recommended. Thursday: Vacuum table and pulp spraying The group will be divided in half. Using our 4' x 6' vacuum table, each participant from group 1 will have ample time to create low relief, high relief, large, small, free form and shaped works using the studio's many deckles and colored pulps. Meanwhile, using a pulp sprayer and stencils, group 2 will be spraying layers of colored pulps to form large sheets. In the afternoon, the groups change. This workshop will take place at our original studio at 79 Guernsey St. Friday: Japanese papermaking Using authentic Japanese su/getas, participants will make traditional Japanese paper using Japanese Kozo, mitsumata and gampi. Decorative techniques will be demonstrated.
