Summer Workshop Series: Paper Lace Artwork

Join us on August 3rd for Paper Lace Artwork workshop with artist Jennifer J. Woodward

About this Event

In this Paper Lace Artwork workshop you'll use yarn, thread, and recycled textiles to create a unique matrix that you will embed in varied paper pulps. The process will lead to the creation of finished artworks that resemble open weave or lace-like art, as well as sculptural forms created with biodegradable cups. Paper pulps will be premade, and a variety of colors of yarn, thread, and pulp will be provided. No experience is required, just bring a willingness to slowly create in community with your fellow workshop attendees. At the end of the workshop you will have 2 wet paper pulp pieces to bring home and dry.
