Note about cost: The $26.75 includes both classes or 4 workshop hours and includes all materials. The cost breaks down to a very reasonable $6.68/hour.

On Tue, Feb 10, combine the art and science of papermaking with painting. After pulling a sheet of cotton paper, each student will create a rich image using an assortment of finely pigmented pulp and stencils. Completed pieces will become the covers for the Hardcover Post-Bound Portfolio Journal. This 90-minute Pulp Painting workshop allows students to learn traditional Western papermaking as they explore an aspect of contemporary paper art.

The Feb 10 workshop will be followed by a 30-minute walking tour of the Open Book Building and the larger literary community, including papermaking, typesetting, printing, and bookbinding studios.

On Tue, Feb 17, using your completed pulp painting as the cover art, create a versatile hinged screw-post binding to hold your NaNoWriMo novel, your journal, your science notes, your engineering diagrams, your art portfolio, or other writings or artwork. The removable screw-post allows for the easy addition, subtraction and reordering of pages. In this 2-hour workshop students will create Hardcover Post-Bound Portfolio Journal sized to hold standard 8½"x11" paper with screw-posts spaced for a standard 3-hole punch.
