BigAss/BadAss Paper Fabrications

This five-day workshop will start with large-scale papermaking as students prepare kozo fiber and make large (approximately 6’ x 9’) sheets of paper which will be dyed using shibori dye techniques. The result will be diverse sheets of paper which will be torn into strips, shared with classmates and woven into a new 5’ x 8’ sheet with varying colors, textures and patterns. Not only is this project designed to inspire creativity, but each student will also have a sample of everyone’s technique at the end of the workshop.
