About
We will transform flax roving into beautifully textured paper and then will “shape space” by creating an ethereal sculpture. Flax fiber paper can be combined with book art techniques; it can be used as a substrate for stitching and mark-making with inks and stains. The class is designed to make friends with our inner critic and to have fun. No prior experience required! Registration deadline: 1/9/24
