Craft your own unique journal from handmade paper to a hand-stitched final journal.NOTE: This workshop is held over two sessions.
Paper Making - Session 1, 5:30-7:30 pm
In this portion of the workshop, participants will learn the hand paper-making process and how plant materials can be used alone or incorporated with junk/scrap paper to create unique and beautiful sheets of paper. You will leave your papers to dry for several days and then come back to assemble them into a book!
Participants will learn how fibers are processed to make paper pulp and will then form each sheet by using a traditional mold and deckle. Sheets will then be pressed, dried and flattened for later use.
Bookbinding - Session 2, 10:00 am - 2:30 pm
We will come back together to learn how to stitch our beautiful handmade paper into journals. You will have the opportunity to use your handmade paper alone or together with ready-made multi-media paper to bind into a book using the Coptic stitch method.
Each student will leave with their hand-bound book as well as information on how to set up and start making paper at home.
