–RESCHEDULED FOR MAY 29th – NEW SPOTS OPEN–
Join current HCCC resident artist Hong Hong to explore the craft of papermaking in this socially distanced workshop in the HCCC Craft Garden. Learn the basic elements of creative papermaking as Hong leads participants through the process of preparing a vat of pulp, pulling a sheet with a hand-held mould and deckle, couching the sheet, and then pressing the 5 x 7-inch paper.
Experiment with incorporating a variety of found and recycled materials into your paper. Materials will be provided, but participants are also encouraged to bring their own, such as dried leaves and flowers, thread, vintage photographs, specialty papers, fabrics, or old drawings. Participants can expect to create between three and 10 sheets of handmade paper, depending on how fast they create each sheet.
Paper will need to dry for several hours before it can be taken home. Participants can return to HCCC to pick up their paper later that afternoon or on another day during public hours.
No experience necessary. All materials and tools are included. This workshop takes place in person and outside in the HCCC Craft Garden. All participants must wear a mask and practice social distancing during the workshop. Space is limited to a maximum of 10 participants, who will be spaced more than six feet apart. If it rains on the day of the workshop, a make-up day will be scheduled (May 29th).
