Paste Paper is one of the earliest forms of surface decoration. In the contemporary context, mixed media artists are finding new uses beyond the traditional book arts. This is a fun, fast-paced decorative art with its true nature seated within the realm of printmaking. As with monoprints, each paste paper is unique.
With an open studio feel, we’ll meet and greet and talk about the history of paste paper and an overview of the process, and then we’ll get busy. We’ll begin with 2 hours of paste work as an artistic stretch. The perfect amount of time for color and texture play along with design planning for the projects.
We’ll apply colors mixed with a thick paste using a variety of tools. Custom color choices, tool-making tips and a wide variety of papers will be available. Folding, weaving, collage, and small bookish ideas will be explored to push your creations away from the decorative papers into artworks.
Just a quick note, paste paper is a little messy. I suggest wearing an old shirt!
All materials are provided along with technique handouts.
