Join us in the Classroom for a workshop with Programs Fellow Naomi White!
Step into the world of handmade paper and learn how to create your own sheets from scratch using recycled fibers. Participants will learn the basics of traditional Western papermaking—pulling sheets from a vat of pulp, pressing, and drying—while also exploring the expressive possibilities of pulp painting, a technique that uses colored pulp to “paint” designs directly into the paper as it’s formed.
We’ll cover the full process, from blending recycled fibers into pulp to experimenting with color, texture, and pattern. Whether you're a beginner or an artist looking to expand your material practice, this workshop offers a unique way to play with surface, layering, and composition in a medium that bridges craft and art.
Come prepared to get a little wet, a little messy, and a lot inspired!
