Bark Fibers Transformed
Session Four: June 30-July 12
Nicholas Cladis
Bark Fibers Transformed
This workshop will begin with processing raw bast fibers (e.g. kozo) into paper using Japanese sheet forming methods. Then we will explore alternative techniques and materials to use in tandem with bast fibers: we will pigment and dye, manipulate pulp with water, and use bark fibers for casting and dipping. Embracing the communal aspect of papermaking, we will concoct and experiment with pulp mixtures. There will be daily demonstrations, discussions of paper as an artistic and borderless medium, and ample time for play. We will also discuss the history and origins of Eastern/Japanese papermaking and its contemporary applications. Each student will walk away with an assortment of handmade papers and fiber-focused objects. All levels.
