About this Event
Using tree-fibre pulp to create paper suitable for printmaking, drawing, dyeing, and painting. Led by Varied Editions co-curator Edward Fu-Chen Juan with assistance from Veronica Yang, this hands-on workshop guides participants through a condensed version of the ancient process of making washi paper, including pulp preparation, sheet formation (couching), and opportunities for experimentation. Participants will explore paper not simply as a surface for artmaking, but as an expressive medium in itself. Whether practical, sculptural, or poetic, handmade paper has long been embraced by artists working outside conventional forms and systems. No prior experience necessary. All materials provided.
Presented in partnership with Malaspina Printmakers Society.
Queer Arts Festival 2026: On the Edge
Queer Arts Festival 2026 embraces the precipice as both danger and possibility. Around the world, queer and trans communities are being pushed to the brink: rights stripped away, identities erased, futures uncertain. Yet edges are also where transformation begins, where risk and reinvention thrive. On the Edge asks what happens when we refuse to fall, when we linger in tension, desire, and anticipation — holding that charged space just a little longer before what comes next.
