Japanese Papermaking with Kozo - Online Independent Study [ANY TIME, ANYWHERE]]

United States

This online class is designed for individuals who are self motivated to learn Japanese papermaking in a private independent study format, without having to wait for a group event. Detailed lessons and dozens of video demonstrations are made available every few days to allow students to work at their own pace.

Participants can take this class at any time and from any location [with internet access] and learn all of the processes involved in how to make Japanese-style nagashizuki-style paper, including identifying the plant itself, harvesting, steaming, stripping and scraping off the outer bark to gain access to the beautiful inner bast fiber, cooking, hand beating, rinsing/cleaning, mixing neri (formation aid), preparing the vat and finally forming sheets of paper. These steps will be followed with pressing and drying as well as a few extra contemporary creative techniques. Along the way, you will learn a little science about the fiber to have a better understanding of the material.

Lessons and materials are available for several months to provide time to work through it all. Price includes 2 hours of private consultation [by appointment].

PAPIER-art ART-papier

Austria

In unserer Manufaktur in Mattsee, im Salzburger Seenland, fertigen wir in liebevoller Handarbeit große und kleine Kunstwerke aus Papier. Unserer Rohstoffe erhalten wir direkt aus dem eigenen Garten. Dies ermöglicht uns eine einzigartige Vielfalt an Pflanzenpapieren herstellen zu können. Bei der Verarbeitung achten wir darauf, einen möglichst kleinen ökologischen Fußabdruck zu hinterlassen, in dem wir Ressourcen sparend mit der Natur arbeiten.

Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die Papiergeschichte schöpfen Sie Papiere
im A6, A5 und A4 Format. Es werden z.B. Kräuter, frische Blüten und Blätter je nach Jahreszeit in das Papier eingearbeitet. Sie gestalten sich Ihre persönlichen Blütenpapiere. Im Anschluss besteht die Möglichkeit die im Haus befindliche Papierausstellung zu besichtigen.

WEITERE KURSMODULE:
(nach Absolvierung des Grundkurses)

  • Briefpapier herstellen
  • Papiere mit Gewürzen und Blattmetallen
  • Fasergewinnung aus heimischen Pflanzen
  • Asiatische Schöpftechnik

In our workshop in Mattsee, in the Salzburg Lake District, we lovingly handcraft large and small works of art made of paper. We get our raw materials directly from our own garden. This enables us to produce a unique variety of plant papers. During processing, we make sure to leave the smallest possible ecological footprint by working with nature in a resource-saving manner.

After a short introduction to the history of paper, you will make paper in A6, A5 and A4 format. For example, herbs, fresh flowers and leaves are included into the paper depending on the season. You design your own personal flower paper. Afterwards you have the possibility to visit the paper exhibition in the house.
