About

Butterfly-wing paper is a technique developed by the teaching artist in which a frame is wrapped tightly with thread and then dipped in various pulp fibers to create thin sheets with thread inclusions. Participants will experiment with "cloud paper," or reverse pulp painting, where layers of pulp are applied to a backing sheet, allowed to dry, and then carefully peeled away. Using natural pigments, participants will also learn to color different kinds of pulp. These techniques do not require large equipment such as a press or dry box, allowing participants to continue experimentation beyond this workshop. Participants will complete one small finished work of butterfly wing paper, cloud paper, and many small experimental samples.
