Papermaking & Constructions - In-Person Workshop

$675.00

Join me for a 2-day immersive study of papermaking for sculpture designed to elevate your creative practice. Set against the serene backdrop of northern New Mexico, this retreat experience offers creatives the opportunity to engage in daily sessions focused on skill development, ways of seeing, interweave what art practice means to you; what is creativity vs. art; make friends with the inner-critic; work with shape, texture, scale, and have fun.

We will focus on papermaking with abaca linters and sheet formation for sculpture through dimensionality and perception. You will explore the myriad of possibilities about how to use simple materials for self-expression as well as finding your artistic path.
