Introduction to Western Papermaking

artist made paper

 

Using Western-European papermaking techniques, students will explore variations on traditional vat sheet forming.  Discussions will include various equipment, ways of making pulp, recycling, inclusions, layering, making large sheets from small frame and intro to three dimensional techniques. 

2 sessions   9:30am – 4:30pm     maximum # students 6    no experience necessary

All classes have a materials fee of $25. 

Classes are held at the Seattle studio in the University/Roosevelt area (directions are sent prior to class).  All papermaking classes are limited to 6 students.

Though classes may have a scheduled date, if  three to six people get together, we can find a date that suits us all!  Most papermaking classes are 2 days; see the calendar below for free dates available (green boxes).
