Featured Event
Paper and Book Workshops
The art department sponsored two special Saturday workshops in March 2005 on hand papermaking and book binding.
Professor Tara Christopherson helped participants in the papermaking workshop get their feet wet (really) in an information-packed session on making handmade paper without specialized equipment. They began with a hands-on portfolio of samples for inspiration and explored fiber sources and preparation; basic equipment needs; vat setup; sheet forming; shaped papers; multiple color couching; pressing; drying; cleanup; and resources.
Most participants returned for the second workshop the following Saturday and used their handmade papers as well as provided ones to bind a hard cover journal by hand. Pattern, instructions, and basic supplies for two journals were provided.
