I will be teaching a special 2-day papermaking art workshop in Santa Rosa, California, on Dec. 3 & 4 at Laguna de Santa Rosa.   Here’s the information about the workshop and really looking forward to using some northern California native plant waste materials to make Asian-style handmade paper.

Suitable for adults and teens 15 years old and up.  This workshop is suitable for all experience levels, from novice to experienced papermakers.

Description:  Participants will learn to make handmade paper from Laguna de Santa Rosa plants and create unique handmade paper artworks using all natural materials from the Laguna. During a walk around the native plant garden, we will identify plants suitable for papermaking and gather dried leaves and bark from trimmed branches or fallen twigs and also invasive plants that can be used for papermaking. The process will include preparing plants, cooking, beating and sheet forming with Asian and Western papermaking techniques. The emphasis will be on creative problem solving and use of waste materials to make handmade paper with sustainable methods that do not harm the environment. The handmade papers can be used for drawing, painting, printmaking and collage as well as for creating greeting cards — just in time for the holidays! Each participant will also make a sample book with papermaking recipes for the plants used in the workshop. The instructor will introduce unique hand papermaking techniques that she has developed from her experiences as an artist in residence in Japan, Taiwan, Tanzania, Indonesia, Nepal, Brazil, Thailand, China, England and the Philippines, as well as at art centers and nature parks in the United States.
