Slide Show of our January Workshop

As psrt of our ongoing educational programs in papermaking, our January workshop with Sheryl Jaffe focused on Inclusions. We used a variety of pulps to make gorgeous translucent papers to which we added many different kinds of inclusions for laminating. embossing and collaging. We also began to conceptualize our Spring installation and show. Stay tuned for updates on February and March programming.

Our Visit to Dieu Donne

On Tuesday evening, Naomi and I attended a great workshop on pulp painting at Dieu Donne Paper mill in NYC where we finally got an in depth intro to mixing pigments with pulp. Our work from the workshop is still there drying but we can upload the results when we receive the paper we made back.. We hed traveled via megabus just for the three hour advanced workshop!

Well, guess we'll be beating more linen for ten hours to have some colored pulps on hand for our January workshop.

Please join us for our January Workshop (Jan 26 & 27) which continues the exploration of the creative process of papermaking including the many uses of hand made paper by our master teachers,  Brenda Lilly and Sheryl Jaffe.

By arrangement with the instructors, this workshop has a special  donations payment plan according to each person's financial situation. The purpose is to continue to instruct interested individuals in the paper making process so they feel comfortable to work in the studio on their own.  People coming from out of town can request from the geko if they can stay in the Tsegyalgar East dorm for a fee. Write David Hayes at geko@tsegyalgar.org.
