Description
Create Unique, Textured Paper for Your Art Projects
Handmade paper is more than just fun to make. It’s an amazing process that allows you to add depth and character to your paper-based art projects. Why use mass-produced blank paper when you can upcycle raw materials to create paper with unique qualities and one-of-a-kind textures?
By the end of this hands-on workshop, you will have made multiple pages, that you can take home and use for all kinds of projects including painting, drawing, printmaking, and mixed-media artworks. Plus, you will have the know-how to make many more pages with instructions included on how to create your own papermaking deckle and mould.
Embrace Your Creative Freedom, as you:
- Learn how to make paper out of a variety of natural and man-made materials.
- Experiment with the colour, thickness, and texture of each page you make.
- Discover ways to ‘prepare’ your paper for use with different art media, and be inspired to create handmade greeting cards, bookmarks, hanging ornaments, and stationery (after your paper has had time to dry).
- Admire what you have made, possibly deciding to frame the most interesting piece (as is), allowing the paper to tell its unique story.
Papermaking is a creative skill that makes your art hobby more affordable and less wasteful. You’ll be able to repurpose all the wastepaper scraps from your studio (or office) and transform them into something beautiful.
The possibilities are endless.
