Flax Fiber Papermaking For Sculpture - IN-STUDIO WORKSHOP

Join me for a 3-day immersive Fiber Art workshop focused on non-traditional papermaking for sculpture.

Set against the serene backdrop of Arroyo Hondo, this workshop offers creatives the opportunity to engage in daily sessions with a focus on papermaking with flax roving creating textured paper for sculptural applications with natural materials. Design and make a reusable mould with wire and plaster; explore mark-making with sumi ink and indigo and surface embellishment with stitching (optional).

All skill levels are welcome.
