Happy New Year!
Next Saturday, January 7, 2012, we will be messing about with paste paper and Suminagachi, which is kinda like paper marbling.
Please check out these links to find out more about each technique:

I will provide paste, sponges, some acrylic colors, and a few "combs" and what might be needed to get us started. All you need to bring is your own paper - full sheets preferred. If you have a specific color/project in mind and want to bring your own colors, please do so. Or, if you have any of those cheap acrylics you get for under a buck at the craft store and care to share, please bring those as well. I think a benefit of paste paper, besides the sheer beauty of it, is that you can do it on just about any paper imaginable - kraft paper, sketch paper, print paper, watercolor....you name it. Also, PLEASE, to help with drying things in time for departure, if anyone has a blow dryer that they can lend...please do so! I am trying to get the room beyond noon, and believe there will be no problem, so plan to stay on a bit if you can.
On a whole 'nother note, I have finally put together a call for entries for our March 1 show in Wellfleet, and I have also assembled a membership form and schedule for the next few months....all of it should be arriving to you this week via USPS.
As usual, we will have a "business meeting" beginning at 9:30, for those who can provide assistance in developing our fledgeling organization to becoming more effective, active and enjoyable for all, we will have a "business meeting" beginning at 9:30.
Onward!
