Workshop Details

Michelle Wilson (@michellewilsonprojects) returns to Moonlight Press (@moonlightpress.co) for another Japanese Style Papermaking Workshop!

In this workshop, students will be introduced to the process of making Japanese paper, or washi. Japanese paper, often incorrectly referred to as rice paper, is renowned for its exceptional strength despite appearing delicate and gossamer-thin. Students will learn the basics of preparing their own fiber, hand-beating, and forming sheets using the traditional nagashizuki method. Students will take home wet sheets to dry at home with instructions.
 
Washi paper is versatile and can be used for numerous applications – writing, printmaking, chine colle, collage, bookbinding, digital printing, paper sculpture – you name it! The class will also touch on how to make washi at home. No prior experience necessary.
 
Please note: Papermaking is a wet process; please wear clothing and shoes that can get wet. Papermaking also involves some standing, lifting, and arm movements.

Workshop Details

Karen Olson is teaching again at Fiber College in Searsport, Maine. The theme for her workshop is "Connect With Your Wild Side."

During the retreat, participants  will harvest sustainable plants from the edges of the landscape and from the garden for art-making. They will learn to make paper from these materials and discover how to determine whether a plant is suitable for making strong paper. Using wet sheets and pulp, participants will learn to sculpt, emboss, cast, and incorporate natural fibers to create three-dimensional works of art. Many techniques for sculpting dry papers will also be explored. Dyes and pigments will be on hand to color your paper. A selection of commercially available fibers and Japanese papers will also be available to add to your creations or to digitally print if you desire.
