Experimental Papermaking for Printmakers

We welcome back Papermaker and Book Artist Mandy Brannan to Essex Print Studio to host this fascinating workshop. With a nod towards Christmas Mandy will introduce you to a selection of different techniques using a fusion of traditional Western and Japanese styles of paper sheet production. You will be able to experiment with iridescent pigmentation (hence the 'Bright & Shiny' !); recycled pulps and you can even throw a handful of Christmas tree needles into the mix! You can take away your beautiful sheets of hand-made paper and use them for printing on or for making lovely, unique Christmas cards.

We will have lots of items available to purchase on the day so that you can go away ready and equipped to make your own paper at home. There will be deckles, samples for making paper pulp and everything else that you might need.

All materials provided. This class is limited to 6 places.

All orders are final and unfortunately we cannot issue any refunds, except in exceptional circumstances.

Suitable for beginners and those with some experience.
