Join EWMW artist in residence Kat Wiese in pulp mixing, papermaking, and bookbinding in a 5-week lab. Participants will learn how to make paper from both recycled and raw materials. Participants will be able to bring materials of their own and use both natural and synthetic materials on site: like pressed flowers, kraft paper, and recycled prints. Book binding methods will include accordion, French Binding, and Celtic binding. Students will be instructed in how to make two 6 x 8 inch books using Celtic and French binding methods using the papers they made during the first two weeks. More advanced students or those with existing creative projects, are welcome to join the course and work at their own pace on paper related projects.
All materials are provided. Students are encouraged to bring papers they may like to include in their books or use as recycled papers for pulp making.
