All Levels | TBD Materials and Studio Fees*
No material is arbitrary as we create ephemeral records of time and place. We will explore fiber processing, beating invasive and reclaimed materials to a pulp, crafting handmade paper sheets made of the plants and other materials we collect from the Touchstone campus creating literal or representational handmade paper maps. Participants will learn the history of papermaking while honing their sheet forming skills using color, texture and “wet on wet” collage to illustrate in and on hand made paper scaling up in size as we create.
*Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
WORKSHOP STUDENTS should bring the following materials for the workshop
*It is recommended that you wait to hear if the workshop is running before you purchase materials. Touchstone will let you know if a workshop is running no later than 2 weeks before the start of the class. Regardless of the outcome of the class, running or not, Touchstone is not responsible for the reimbursement of any materials bought for a workshop.
