Butterfly Wing Paper and Reverse Pulp Painting

United States

Event Dates

The workshop takes place from June 24, 2023 until June 25, 2023.

Workshop Details

Butterfly-wing paper is a technique developed by the teaching artist in which a frame is wrapped tightly with thread and then dipped in various pulp fibers to create thin sheets with thread inclusions (or thread embedded in the paper). There are endless possibilities to explore with this unique technique–threads can be woven, different kinds of pulp create various interesting effects with translucency and opacity, and frames can be designed to create specific patterns. Students will learn this papermaking technique, as well as how to use natural pigments to add color while experimenting with different kinds of pulp. You will also experiment with a technique called “Cloud paper” or reverse pulp painting, where layers of pulp are applied by hand to a backing sheet, allowed to dry, and then carefully peeled away.  It is possible to make extremely thin sheets of paper, with a variety of interesting effects this way.  Neither of these techniques requires a press or a dry box, making them accessible to people without access to those tools.  

Students will complete one small finished work of butterfly wing paper, and cloud paper, as well as many small experimental samples. All levels welcome – no experience necessary

Registration closes June 10, 2023. Material fees are included with your registration, though a list of additional items needed to be gathered/purchased will be sent with your confirmation.
This workshop will be held at Pyramid Atlantic in Hyattsville MD.

Workshop Details

This workshop is a four-part live interactive online intensive!

Join Jacqueline Mallegni on a journey of exploration through the art of making sculpture with natural materials at her Live & Interactive Online Fiber Sculpture Session.

A Zoom link will be emailed a week before the class.

We will learn to connect different layers of time and composition, explore layers and subtleties that reflect the process unique to you, and create an authentic manuscript in the material. We will also learn expression in the material, an in-depth familiarity with paper, to work in a variety of techniques.

Simplicity, logic, and hard work are the main foundations that I expose participants to in my workshops, a process in which you will receive tools to develop language and personal approach to the material, release the creative power and expand your toolbox and access to the material.

Workshop Details

August 11, 18, 25, 2022
10 am - 2 pm

Workshop’s topics:
Free motion embroidery on a variety of materials and mixed media.
Multi-layered and three-dimensional embroidered standalone objects.
Creating fabrics from different materials - creating alternative fabrics from residual materials, organic materials or various fibers.
Processing different materials on a sewing machine: punching, soldering paper, paper felting, and alternative printing techniques.

The humble sewing machine is considered by many a mere tool used in the craft of sewing. In fact, it offers artistic freedom and expression in the creation process. In this workshop we will explore the many possibilities in using the sewing machine as a multidisciplinary tool. We will delve into free, machine, and floating embroidery on a multitude of materials, making multi-dimensional images and textures in a size of your choosing. Finally, we will solidify the materials and make assemblage of your creations.

The workshop is intended for participants familiar with the use and control of a sewing machine, beginners are welcome. The classes are based on a theoretical study of different techniques and demonstrations of how to make them, therefore, time is set aside in the workshop to practice the techniques and various experiments in materials.The participants may choose to come with their sewing machine to the workshop or make all the preparatory work at the workshop and leave the execution as homework. Participation in the workshop involves homework between sessions and a preparatory conversation with Guy before the workshop begins.

Workshop Details

IAPMA Member Michelle Wilson (@michellewilsonprojects) will teach this upcoming class - for any student interested in using handmade paper to create sculptural forms with armatures. Students will learn building methods for armatures and ways to wrap and dip their armatures in handmade paper pulp prepared in a way that is called "high shrinkage".

NICOLE DONNELLY - WORKING WITH ARMATURE

United States

Event Dates

The workshop takes place from July 30, 2022 until July 31, 2022.

Workshop Details

Instructor: Nicole Donnelly
In this two day IN PERSON workshop, participants will work with high-shrinkage flax and abaca pulps, learning basic sheet forming, methods for inclusions, and stretching sheets over constructed armatures. Flax and abaca fibers can make extremely thin, strong, and translucent sheets of paper. These are ideal for embedding two-dimensional imagery but are also prized for their ability to shrink as they dry, creating a taut, smooth surface when the paper is applied over an armature. Students will form two-dimensional sheets of paper and will be guided through constructing basic armatures of their own design. Participants are encouraged to bring their ideas as well as their own materials to incorporate. Please see the website for details such as recommended supplies and instructor bio.

Registration deadline: July 15, 2022
Worshop from 10 am - 4 pm on both days.
