Book & Paper Arts Workshops
Paper & Place (Kingston, NY)

Exploring the process of hand papermaking yields opportunities to incorporate natural materials directly into your art making and create artworks which evoke a sense of place. Participants will construct 2D and 3D works of paper, choosing materials that become part of the content. Paper pulps such as linen, flax, and abaca provide a neutral palette for mineral colors, natural dyes, as well as plant and seed textures. A variety of artistic papermaking techniques will be covered, such as using a deckle box, embedding plants, wet collage, and creating simple structures. Colors will be derived from mineral and plant sources. The emphasis will be on creating unique works of paper that reflect elements of the natural world.
Students are encouraged to bring materials that support their art making or ideas about place, such as dried plants, minerals, plant fiber, cloth, textiles/threads, collage materials, etc.
