BOOK ARTS: DECORATIVE PASTE PAPERS

BOOK ARTS: DECORATIVE PASTE PAPERS

Paste papering is like adult finger painting. It is a wet, seemingly sloppy, but intentional method of decorating paper. It is better to be quick with the paper than perfect, and always be open to ‘happy mistakes’. Once one is practiced at paste papering, repetition creates a dance of choreographed steps and techniques, culminating in your unique designs. In this class we will learn how to use different types of pigments combined with wheat paste to decorate papers that can then be used to make books, cards, and a variety of other paper artworks. Included in this process are various scraping tools to create multiple textures. Tools & materials provided. This is a great class to pair with Sculpted Paper Flowers on May 31.

About the instructor: Joelle Webber, our guest instructor for this class, has spent 40 years collecting book arts techniques in college & workshop settings. She now designs classes for many different communities of makers based on her experience in writing, paper decorating, collage, calligraphy, pop-up, paper sculpting, book binding and box making.
