Create a handmade paper replica of a cherished object at Sculptural Papermaking
on Sunday, March 29 from 12 to 4:30 p.m. in the Evergreen Lodge.
Instructor E Ainsley will guide students through making a mold of their chosen object.
Students will then create a new sculpture with their mold using pulp from meaningful papers,
journal pages, photos or old documents. The process of breaking down old notes and
letters and transforming them into something new can be magical!
Because the fibers have the potential to hold so much history,
the medium works on its own to tell stories, disrupt or establish an archive,
and ask questions about origin.
Each student will leave with a paper replica of their original
object as well as a silicone mold for future use.
$150/person (Ages 14+; 14-17-year-olds must be accompanied by an adult,
who does not need to register.)
Register here. Registration will close March 22
or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
