Time: 10am - 2pm
Class Fee: $150

In this playful one-day workshop students will learn how to use the press as an archival collaging tool. Choosing from a variety of colorful, patterned, and decorative papers students will create a series of unique collages using a non-toxic wheat paste adhesive. Students will learn how to adhere their finished collages onto a larger sheet of cotton rag paper using the chine collé method on the press. This class is open to all skill levels and students are encouraged to bring their own paper or prints to collage with, in addition to those supplied. This workshop is completely non-toxic with no printmaking experience necessary.
Materials provided:
selection of dyed washi and decorative papers for collaging
cotton rag paper
wheat paste
use of studio scissors, x-actos, and copper plate for chine collé process
