Join us for a Special Hawaiʻi Handweavers' Hui Papermaking Class at the Mānoa Heritage Center on Saturday, April 15, followed by a Bookmaking Class at our studio in the Downtown Art Center, on Saturday, April 29.
Learn to create unique sheets of (Western-style) paper with moulds and deckles and a variety of fibers pulped in a Hollander beater. The history of papermaking and its contemporary uses as an art-making material will be discussed. Be prepared to get wet, have fun, and make sheets of art paper that can be used for drawing, painting, printmaking, and 3-D constructions.
This is a two-part class. The first session on papermaking will take place, April 15, at the Mānoa Heritage Center. The second session on bookmaking will take place, April 29, at the Hawaiʻi Handweavers' Hui studio in the Downtown Art Center.
