About the Class
For
any student interested in using handmade paper to create sculptural
forms with armatures, this is a class for you! Students will learn
building methods for armatures and ways to wrap and dip their armatures
in handmade paper prepared in a way that is called “high shrinkage.” In
this method, paper pulp has been beaten for a long period of time to
absorb a large amount of water, and dramatic transformations can occur
when the form dries. All supplies are provided through the materials
fee. La maestra habla español.
Papermaking is a wet process,
please wear clothing and shoes that can get wet. Papermaking also
involves some lifting and arm movements.
Note: There will be a one-hour lunch break each day. Please bring a bag lunch.
