Art Journaling/Paper Play: Making Paste Paper with Melinda

Details

This class will be a basic introduction to the centuries old art of decorative paste paper. We'll create fancy paper to use in collages or book covers or whatever pleases you. It's artwork like the children's author, Eric Carle, created for The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We'll experiment with layering colors, mark making or even fingerpainting. You’ll find, the finished papers have amazing depth.

Wear old clothes or bring an apron--this is a messy project!

Supplies:
-paper (copy paper, sketch paper or even construction paper is fine), -acrylic paints,
-a couple of cheap 2" brushes, a -wider brush or sponge just for wetting the paper,
-sponges, -
-4-5 small containers with lids (like yogurt containers),

  • a water container for rinsing brushes, etc.
    -mark making tools such as: combs, plastic gift card, simple rubber stamps, stencils, bubble wrap, texture rollers.

This is so much fun! Don’t miss it!
