In the upcoming paper-making workshop by @yasi_moussavi , participants will dive into advanced techniques such as embossing, moulding, shaping, and dyeing paper to enhance their art projects, while discovering the endless possibilities of this medium.

Shaped Paper:
Participants will learn how to form paper into various shapes, from organic curves to geometric designs. Using foam board, students will create frames in their preferred shapes for a wide range of creative projects, including installation art and book art. Additionally, they will experiment with laying paper over flexible objects to create folded and organic shapes.

Embossing and Embedding:
Embossing adds dimension and tactile interest to paper by creating raised designs on its surface. In this workshop, participants will learn to emboss their freshly made paper using various objects such as yarns, brushes, wood sticks, and leaves. They will also be guided in creating foam boards to use as plates for transferring shapes onto their paper. This technique, commonly used by well-known artists, is especially prominent in Modern and contemporary art.

Adding Coloured Pulp to Shaped Paper:
Participants will experiment with adding layers of coloured pulp to their papers, adding depth and complexity to their creations. This workshop provides a low-tech foundation in papermaking that is both expandable and non-toxic, making it accessible to students with limited access to studio facilities.

Participants are encouraged to bring materials such as favourite book quotes, poetry, lace fragments, threads, or dried plants to incorporate into their projects.

**Please note that the handmade paper sheets require at least 48 hours to dry. You can arrange a time to pick them up in the following week(s).
