Paper Possibilities Palooza with Erin Dougherty & Rachel Gee

Location: D.R.A.W. Studio @ Energy Square

Address: 22 Iwo Jima Lane, Kingston, NY 12401

Date: 20 Apr

Workshop:

Paper Possibilities Palooza will teach participants how to make hand-made paper from recycled materials using household objects. This workshop will include learning to make paper pulp, pulling sheets of paper and embellishing sheets with natural materials and textures. Participants will leave with a broad understanding of the possibilities of handmade paper. Our workshop will include a thorough presentation about selecting, collecting and processing fibers for paper. We will demonstrate how to make a mold and deckle from up-cycled or thrifted picture frames, mesh, and tape. Participants can pull sheets of paper, or dabble with the casting abilities of pulp. In an era of “going paperless,” most of us find ourselves still flooded with junk mail, coupons, and print-outs. Our workshop explores a creative reuse discussion on the artistic benefit of handmade paper.
