Papermaking: Dip, Pour, Stencil, Cast Ages 14+

Record Type
Workshops

Course Description:

I teach a fast‑moving, hands‑on papermaking studio where students dip, pour, stencil, swirl in color, and even cast a lifesize 3D starfish. I guide them as they play with texture, natural materials, and bold pulp experiments that lead to lively, one‑of‑a‑kind sheets. Everyone leaves with handmade papers and the spark of how fun, messy, and totally beginner‑friendly papermaking can be.
