The Art of Papermaking

It is the practice of transforming raw"
materials into something tangible and useful.
The art of papermaking is
impermanent yet consistent.
Visceral yet practical.
Magical.

to emerge during a day-long workshop for artists and creators. Wabi-sabi, the

an art-talk and demonstration. Learn how to process kozo, the bark of the paper
mulberry and make beautiful sheets of washi to take home at the end of the day.
