L'École de Papier
Workshop Details
State of Play offers artistic mentoring designed so that each participant can develop their own sustainable practice all while creating a personal project throughout the year.
It interweaves three intersecting and interconnected lines of work:
Cultivating curiosity and visual appetite «eye-petite” training the gaze and visual literacy. Working with constellation research processes, from intuition to organisation.
Engaging in manual and artisanal practices enables us to 'think with our hands,' thereby opening pathways to forms of intuitive knowledge.By entering a 'creative trance,' one can generate rapid, nonjudgmental images through experimental techniques that embrace error and invite surprise.
Granting space and permission to experiment, the sketchbook becomes both a vessel for an artistic practice and a sanctuary for the creative journey.
Application form and course prospectus are available as downloads on the IAPMA website below and below.

Gangolf Ulbricht, Berlin
Workshop Details
In this course, participants will traditionally process Japanese mulberry fibers, i.e., soak, boil, clean, beat, and scoop, press, and dry A3-sized sheets. Participants will also work with ready-to-use mulberry bast fibers and with Lokhta, a Nepalese bast fiber.
This results in three different papers – in color, transparency, surface, gloss, and properties. The focus is on the Nagashizuki scooping method, the repeated immersion of the form and leaf formation with the aid of a formation tool. Special features and variations are also shown (floating sieve).
The course then enables participants to continue working independently in their own space, e.g. processing their own fibers (e.g. from the garden) and continuing with what they have learned.
Friday 2-6 p.m.
Saturday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Sunday 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Additional offer (also accessible to guests)
Lecture date: Friday, June 5, 2026 at 7 p.m.
The lecture will present traditional Japanese papermaking by hand. During a year-long stay, the author followed the harvesting of the fibers and the processing of the various raw materials using different techniques in various workshops. The cultural context of paper in everyday life illuminates its diverse uses and demonstrates why washi paper still holds its place in modern life.

Skies and Seascapes: a Papermaking Day Course with artist Jane Ponsford
United Kingdom
Event Dates
The workshop takes place from February 08, 2026 until February 08, 2026.
Workshop Details
A creative papermaking workshop inspired by the experimental and gestural marks J.M.W. Turner employed in his plein-air sketches and seascapes.
Join artist-papermaker Jane Ponsford to learn traditional papermaking techniques and create your own handmade linen and cotton rag paper. Experiment with delicate tints and dramatic sweeps of colour, using a colour pallette inspired by Impressions in Watercolour: J. M. W. Turner and his Contemporaries.
Participants can keep these sample sheets as they are or bind them together using a simple bookbinding technique to make their own book of skies.
During the course of the day, participants will discuss the types of paper that Turner and his contemporaries used and the watercolour pigments that were available at the time. This will be used as a background for our own creative responses.
The course will be restricted to 15 people and taught by demonstration and individual intuition.
Useful to Know
This is a hands-on workshop using paper pulp, water and paint so please wear practical clothing and bring an apron. You will be using A4 and also smaller or improvised moulds and deckles and vats of pulp to form our sheets of paper.
At the end of the day, you will be able to take your work home. This may still be damp so please bring plastic bags. Any leftover linen and cotton rag pulp can be taken home if you would like, so a 500ml jar or ziplock bag might be useful.
There will be an hour lunch break where you could book into our restaurant Light, visit one of the cafes near to Towner or bring a packed lunch to eat by the sea.
Accessibility
A budget is available to make this event as accessible as possible – this can include further interpretation services or other access arrangements we can meet to enable you to participate. If you require access arrangements, please email programme@townereastbourne.org.uk two weeks before the event date so that we can book a service if needed.

Visual Haiku with Flax Fiber Collage with Jacqueline Mallegni
A contemplative three-day creative retreat exploring Wabi-Sabi and natural materials
“Wabi-Sabi,” the Japanese aesthetic of impermanence and simplicity, will guide our creative journey in this meditative, hands-on retreat.
Together, we’ll explore the poetic potential of flax fiber, handmade paper, and found natural materials — weaving them into tactile collages that evoke a personal sense of place and quiet reflection.
Through texture, tone, and mark-making, you’ll learn to express the essence of landscape and memory. Using flax roving, ink, and natural dyes, we’ll move gently between making, observing, and refining — letting material and intuition shape each composition

Creative Papermaking With Natural Colours
United Kingdom
Event Dates
The workshop takes place from November 16, 2025 until November 19, 2025.
Workshop Details
Jane Ponsford will lead an exploration of colour in papermaking using natural inks/ dyes and pigments, including subtle colours from the beautiful autumn/ winter gardens at West Dean in Sussex, England.
Explore colour in papermaking using natural dyes and pigments, including some from the gardens at West Dean. Use traditional and accessible papermaking techniques with cotton pulp, then dye and stain your papers to make simple books or handmade paper.
The course will be taught by means of demonstrations and practical work, as well as individual attention to support your project. There will be information and handouts to allow you to take these skills further independently after the course. Participants will make paper traditionally using a Hollander beater and professional equipment, making and using cotton pulp to form sheets, but you will also explore more easily accessible techniques before experimenting with dyeing and dip-dyeing and making natural inks to mark and stain our paper.
At the end of the course, you will have made some beautiful sheets of paper, carefully considered artist books responding to natural colour and other two and three-dimensional handmade paper artworks. You will have experimented with papermaking and making and using natural dyes using a range of techniques and you will have gained and built upon skills to take further in your own work.
This course is particularly suitable for those with an interest in papermaking and fibre crafts in relation to landscape.
Suitable for all.

Workshop Details
Michelle Wilson (@michellewilsonprojects) returns to Moonlight Press (@moonlightpress.co) for another Japanese Style Papermaking Workshop!
In this workshop, students will be introduced to the process of making Japanese paper, or washi. Japanese paper, often incorrectly referred to as rice paper, is renowned for its exceptional strength despite appearing delicate and gossamer-thin. Students will learn the basics of preparing their own fiber, hand-beating, and forming sheets using the traditional nagashizuki method. Students will take home wet sheets to dry at home with instructions.
Washi paper is versatile and can be used for numerous applications – writing, printmaking, chine colle, collage, bookbinding, digital printing, paper sculpture – you name it! The class will also touch on how to make washi at home. No prior experience necessary.
Please note: Papermaking is a wet process; please wear clothing and shoes that can get wet. Papermaking also involves some standing, lifting, and arm movements.

The Workshop will also feature a two-day pulp-painting component, led by Visiting Artist, Roberto Mannino. Participants will receive 12 hours of instruction in each of these areas: hand papermaking, pulp paper painting and marbling, sewn bookbindings, and designing pop-ups.
From the time our staff greets you at the Rome Airport (FCO) to the time we return you to the airport and say farewell, all expenses are included. You'll be staying in our medieval hilltown in a 14th c. convent, with spectacular views of the Tiber Valley. Dining is on our outdoor terrace and you'll be treated to three, multiple course, meals per day lovingly prepared by our chef and kitchen staff. We start the day with an incredible breakfast buffet, then lunch and dinner, which are served in courses and arrive at the table plted and accompanied by excellent local wine.
The workshop will also include field trips to the Fabriano Paper Mill and to the city of Florence, along with several other excursion stops. In addition, Amanda will be offering optional morning Tai Chi sessions. This is an ideal session for teachers, graphic designers, creative artists, and anyone who likes to play with paper. No prior experience is necessary; all skill levels are welcome.
