Course Description:
Join us for this three hour introduction to western hand papermaking. We will explore traditionally used plant fibers and recyclable pulp options and learn about tools and equipment, sheet forming and decorative techniques, use of pigment for color, pressing and drying, and the versatility handmade paper has to offer. This hands-on class is without stress or expectation. All materials are provided. Be prepared to take some of your work home wet, with instructions to continue drying.

You will finish this introductory workshop with an inspiring collection of handmade paper including a few cards for special occasions, and an understanding of how this work can be continued at home and through our ongoing papermaking series…keep checking the ASiF website for dates and classes as they are scheduled.
