Version 2
Workshop: Pushing the Envelope; Blending Ancient and 21st Century Techniques for Mobile Stationery Making
Turn old office memos, graded homework assignments, and postal waste into unique and useful handmade paper products… or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the couch!
Despite ever-increasing digitization, we are awash with excess paper. There is something powerful about physical presence, whether of a piece of paper, the ppm of pollutants in local waterways, or an old tree unmolested by logging interests. In this circular economy workshop, participants will learn to easily reprocess outdated office/school papers, unsolicited advertisements, and used packing materials to create hand-formed sheets of paper using traditional mould and deckle. After drying, we will explore methods of using CNC tools to alter the form and surface of the handmade paper for fun and functional projects.
