Japanese Papermaking - from tree to paper

$350.00

Each participant will create an array of papers from both kozo and fig grown at Carriage House here in Brooklyn.  This will be a very busy 2 days, as we first cut down a kozo tree and branches from the fig. We next delve into fiber preparation, cooking, beating (both mechanically and by hand), sheet forming and drying on boards. Authentic Japanese sugetas will be used.

Workshop meets each day from 10 am to 4 pm with a break for lunch.

Please note: This workshop will take place at Donna's studio, 1 mile away from Carriage House and all fiber preparation will take place outdoors in her garden.
