  • Paper Weaving with Paste Paper: Transform Your Artwork Into Colorful Designs
    Fridays, February 27th, March 6th, & March 20th from 10:00am-12:00pm

    Explore the vibrant world of paper weaving in this hands-on class! Using paste papers made in class as well as your own collection of old or imperfect artwork, you’ll create woven designs that celebrate color, proportion, and playful expression. Paste paper—a homemade, decorative paper often used in bookbinding—will be the foundation of your weaving, giving your projects texture, movement, and visual interest.

    In this workshop, you’ll:
    -Make paste paper from acrylic paint and starch
    -Cut your papers into strips and weave them together
    -Combine your own artwork or favorite papers with freshly made paste papers

    Your finished piece can stand alone as a work of art, or serve as a unique cover for a handmade book.

    Along the way, you’ll experiment with color, contrast, proportion, and rhythm while creating a colorful 9x12 inch (or smaller) paper weaving. You’ll also leave the class with several sheets of paste paper to use in future projects.

    Perfect for anyone interested in design, mixed media, or upcycling artwork into something new and beautiful.

    Fee: $90.00 includes all 3 classes and all materials.

  • Accordion Book Making
    Fridays, April 10th & April 17th from 10:00am-12:00pm

    We will focus on learning the steps in constructing an accordion book, such as folding paper for the inside (which can include cutouts and secret pockets) and then adhering this to the covers. The covers will be made from mat board or book binder’s board with paste paper glued on the front and back. Your finished accordion book can be used for journaling, gift giving, or to display on your book shelf.

    At the end of the class series participants will be able to:

    construct a handmade book which incorporates accordion folds and paste paper covers.  Finished books will be approximately 4“x 6” in size.

    Fee: $60.00 includes both classes and all materials.
