dipping the mold and deckle, lifting the mold, preparing to couch the sheet, draining the mold, couching the sheet

My next workshop will be held at The South of 60 Art Center in Barry's Bay Saturday, September 27.  Participants will learn the basics of creating paper pulp in small batches using recycled paper and pre-made paper pulp; how to construct a simple mold and deckle for small sheet papermaking; and how to colour pulp and pull a sheet of paper from a vat.

Participants will also be introduced to "poured paper" sheet making where additions are aded to the pulp. Participants will also be introduced to the SUMINAGASHI paper marbling technique

Participants will take home the paper they make during the workshop and also a handout set of notes to help them make paper at home.

Hand Paper Making and Marbling Workshops Huge Success!!!

These photos were taken at a Hand Paper-making and Hand Paper Marbling Workshop Day led by Nancy Trottier in Deep River, ON on May 11, 2013.  Adults from the Deep River arts community attended in the morning with children and youth attending in the afternoon. The youth of St. Barnabas Anglican Church community are in the process of creating an artists' book edition with hand made marbled paper covers and illustrations they created themselves. The text has been written by Phyllis Heeny, a member of the parish.The book will be available for sale in the Fall of 2013.
