Workshop Initiator

Larisa Semke Larisa Semke

Workshop Details

In this workshop, you will learn how to create an amazing relief with pyramid-like paper components under guidance, similar to Larigami No. 1. Color, size, and arrangement can be varied individually and creatively. The individual shapes are cut out, folded, and glued by hand. This part of the process is repeated, as each relief consists of numerous individual bodies. It is very relaxing – almost like meditation. Afterwards, the relief is arranged and assembled. Depending on the desired size, it can also be expanded and completed at home.

The price includes: cutting patterns (also available as a PDF upon request), high-quality paper in several colors, DIN-A3 base, glue.

Please bring: scissors, bone folder (if available).

Maps are symbolic guides from the known to the unknown. They describe patterns of movement, occurrence, and migration, and tell stories of places past, present, and future. During this class, designed for all levels, we will explore various ways that mapping can be combined with embroidery to make unique works of art. You will begin with a meditation on land and place and introductions to different types of embroidered cartography and symbolism. Then you'll explore ways to transfer images to fabric, a plethora of embroidery stitches, and how best to realize each participant's idea from vision to textile. Students will depart this workshop with an embroidered map of their own, which could be incorporated into a garment or pillow, or framed as a work of art.

Solastalgia and Watermarks in Handmade Paper

United States

Event Dates

The workshop takes place from July 01, 2024 until July 02, 2024.

Workshop Initiator

Michelle Wilson Michelle Wilson

Workshop Details

In this workshop, you will explore hand papermaking, watermarks, and material metaphor. Watermarks are a hand papermaking technique in which the fibers of the paper are interrupted, creating an absence in the paper. When the papers are backlit, a ghostly image appears. This technique is an exquisite material metaphor for dealing with loss, extinction, and disappearance, while also being magical and alluding to transformation. Using various types of watermark techniques – including cut vinyl, puff paint, layered paper, and hand embroidery, you will explore the imagery of solastalgia – feelings of disquiet and discomfort due to environmental change such as global warming - and revitalization. Students will leave this workshop with a series of handmade papers that can stand on their own as works of art, or be incorporated into collages, artists books, or prints.

Paper Sculpture

United States

Event Dates

The workshop takes place from March 04, 2024 until March 04, 2024.

Workshop Initiator

Karen Olson Karen Olson

Workshop Details

When we work sculpturally, we gain a profound understanding of how perspective can transform and shift in response to the interplay of light and the angle from which we observe our creations. This powerful fact serves as a metaphor for the intricacies and ever-changing nature of life itself. By skillfully manipulating various elements and incorporating them into a multi-dimensional layered sculpture, we are able to effectively convey the intricate and multifaceted layers that constitute our unique life experiences.

In this class, students will learn a variety of methods to strengthen and sculpt paper. Ancient oriental practices will be discussed and demonstrated as well as innovative techniques with natural materials. A variety of alternatives for armature will be shown. A collection of mixed papers and fibers will be available for you to create your own artwork in class. Please feel free to bring your own prints, elements, or artworks you would like to incorporate in your sculpture.  

The class will be held on March 4th, from 1-3 pm at Local Color Gallery, 135 Main St., Belfast, Maine.

Workshop Initiator

Claudia Lee Claudia Lee

Workshop Details

A box is a wonderful container but it is so much more in the hands of an artist.  It provides many surfaces for embellishment, collage, stitching and story-telling.  The form also happily lends itself to many sculptural possibilities.  A custom made box is a beautiful way to present and contain something special.

Students will learn several ways to make boxes as well as how to make reusable patterns for their specific projects. We will explore some decorative paper techniques as well as collage and hand-stitching. Using some of these same techniques we will make a Japanese-inspired triangle bag that can fold flat and learn how it can also be the basis for another sculptural box form.

This class is open to all levels of experience including no experience!

Paper and Print with Roberto Mannino

Italy

Event Dates

The workshop takes place from August 13, 2023 until August 27, 2023.

Workshop Details

This two-week workshop is divided between two interrelated disciplines: papermaking and printmaking.

In the first week, renowned Italian American paper artist and educator, Roberto Mannino, will introduce the basics of hand papermaking. Participants will learn how to create unique papers from virgin, high quality fibers like cotton, linen, and abaca. Color laminations, transparencies and pulp painting effects will support your creativity in composing sheets up to A3 size. Since these papers will be internally sized, they will be rewetted to better retain inks and embossing under the etching press.

In the second week, several alternative printmaking methods will be introduced, with the central focus of first developing imagery with paper as the substrate, then further printing over it:

  • direct monotype with Akua and Calico water-based inks
  • relief printmaking from thin plexiglass plates with Dremel electric engraving and texture marks, and various methods to make a Collagraph plate
  • The above will be printed both as an Intaglio plate and as a relief
  • Two single-day excursions through the amazing countryside of Central Italy will enrich this experience:

In week-one, we will visit the city of Fabriano. In the medieval city, we will visit the Fabriano Paper and Watermark Museum, which houses a working medieval papermaking press. We will also visit the nearby Civic Art Collection, Bruno Molajoli, and the Istocarta, with the impressive Fedrigoni Paper arkive hosted in the Historical Milani Papermill.

In week-two, we will visit Perugia to visit an important collection of medieval manuscripts at the Bibilioteca Augusta and then we will visit the extraordinary, National Museum of Umbria, for a tour of the collections.

Participants in the program will be housed in the remarkably well-preserved Umbrian hill town of Monte Castello di Vibio. Your workshop package is all-inclusive, providing welcome and departure services and airport transfer from the Rome Fiumicino, Leonardo Da Vinci Airport (FCO). Aboard our comfortable private bus, single occupancy accommodations with shared bath (a wide range of upgrades with private bath are available), 3 meals per day Monday-Thursday, Prosecco brunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday (no meals are served on Friday, our excursion day.

Creating Sculptural Handmade Paper

United States

Event Dates

The workshop takes place from July 15, 2023 until July 16, 2023.

Workshop Details

Join artist Michell Wilson at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station, CA, for a 2-day workshop. The workshop will meet from 10 am to 4 pm each day.

Flax from Chico Flax (https://chicoflax.com) will be used as the basis for handmade paper sculptures. Students will learn building methods for armatures and ways to wrap their armatures in handmade paper prepared in a way that is called "high shrinkage." In this method, paper pulp has been beaten for a long period of time to absorb a large amount of water, and dramatic transformations can occur when the form dries. 

Materials will be provided, but please feel free to bring interesting sticks, wire, basketry materials, thread, etc., that you may want to incorporate into your experiments. Papermaking is a wet process, please wear clothing and shoes that can get wet. Papermaking also involves some lifting and arm movements.

Tuition Scholarships & Transportation/Childcare Stipends: Fibershed is offering two scholarships to most workshops; one scholarship if it’s a small class. In addition to scholarships for tuition, we are offering a limited number of stipends for transportation and/or childcare. If you would not otherwise be able to attend, and would like to be considered as a scholarship and/or stipend recipient, please answer a few brief questions on this Google Form. Responses will be reviewed by Learning Center staff and kept strictly confidential.
