Introduction to Papermaking
Explore the creative and fun process of
papermaking using recyclable materials from
the home. With the aid of a common household
blender, iron, and supplies found around the
kitchen students will prepare pulp and make
individual sheets of handmade paper and
envelopes. Techniques to tint and texturize will
be demonstrated as will ways to enhance
paper with additives like dried flowers, seeds,
ephemera. Students will leave with their own
sample work and instructions to continue
working at home. Advanced supplies and
equipment will be discussed for the more
serious papermaker.
Papermaking Beyond the Basics
Take basic recycled papermaking to the next
level. In this class students will learn the
method of production papermaking by
processing raw plant fiber material to pulp,
'pulling' sheets from the vat using a deckle and
screen, processing sheets to felts and pressing
sheets to stabilize and remove moisture. This
method of papermaking is ideal for the student
desiring large quantities of organic handmade
paper.
For the best learning experience it is
recommended students take the Introduction to
Papermaking class as a prerequisite or have
some previous papermaking experience.
