Karen Olson

Workshop Details

Karen Olson is teaching again at Fiber College in Searsport, Maine. The theme for her workshop is "Connect With Your Wild Side."

During the retreat, participants  will harvest sustainable plants from the edges of the landscape and from the garden for art-making. They will learn to make paper from these materials and discover how to determine whether a plant is suitable for making strong paper. Using wet sheets and pulp, participants will learn to sculpt, emboss, cast, and incorporate natural fibers to create three-dimensional works of art. Many techniques for sculpting dry papers will also be explored. Dyes and pigments will be on hand to color your paper. A selection of commercially available fibers and Japanese papers will also be available to add to your creations or to digitally print if you desire.
