This one-day workshop serves as an introduction to the history of handmade paper, overview of handmade paper in contemporary art and DIY papermaking. Part one of the workshop will focus on assembling basic papermaking materials and making simple sheets of paper, using tin cans in place of more traditional molds and deckles. Part two will showcase techniques for embedding materials and stenciling pulp. Participants will go home with a tin-can papermaking kit and a pack of handmade paper samples. Tin-Can Papermaking has something to offer beginners and accomplished papermakers alike.
