MAKE SOME PAPER DAY
Instructor: Carol Kazwick
There have been many requests for a day to “come to the studio and just make paper.” Spend the morning making both white, colored and embellished paper. Work on paper for a special project or just enlarge your paper stash. You can never have too much handmade paper! Supplies: A cookie sheet to carry your paper home on, any molds and deckles of your own you would like to use and any interfacing from previous classes. We will have a variety of sizes of moulds and deckles for you to use.
Saturday: May 31; 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM • Kavanagh Bldg. Surface Design Studio
Member $40; Non-Member $55 • Materials Fee $15
PASTE PAPERS
Instructor: Cheryl Mahowald
Finger painting for grown-ups; painting with paste is one of the earliest techniques used to decorate paper. Artisans have been creating beautiful designs for years. Learn how to comb, stamp, daub and create other designs. Each student will go home with a collection of papers to use for collage, bookbinding, scrapping, calligraphy or other projects. See samples in the Dempsey Gallery.
Supplies: 1 pad of drawing paper: 14” x 17” 80#, small cheap plastic comb, roll of masking tape, sponge, any texturing tools that you may have.
