In this workshop, students will be introduced to the process of making Japanese paper. Japanese paper, often incorrectly referred to as rice paper, is known for its great strength while appearing delicate and gossamer-thin. In this workshop, students will learn the basics of preparing their own fiber, hand beating, and forming sheets in the traditional nagashizuki method. Students will take home wet sheets to dry at home with instructions.

Please be aware that papermaking is a wet activity –  wear clothing and shoes that can get wet. Class involves some physical activity, including standing and arm movements. All supplies are provided through the materials fee. La maestra habla español.
