Description

With artist Bev Barnett, embark on a unique adventure to transform ordinary household recycling, kitchen waste, and foraged botanicals into textured handmade paper that tells a compelling story. In this workshop, we’ll move beyond the notion that paper should be flat, creating low-relief sculpture and highly textured sheets. You’ll master a simple, low-water method using a household blender to macerate pulp and learn how to incorporate color without messy dyes. By the time you leave, you’ll have 8 to 10 handmade papers, a blueprint for your own home studio, and the confidence to keep creating.
