About the Workshop:
This in-person workshop is taught by CBA instructor Ana Cordeiro.
Divided in two sections, this class involves a variety of paper decoration techniques and materials from East and West. The two sections complement one another, but may also be taken independently.
Section one covers: itajime (folding & dyeing), suminagashi (water-based marbling), rice paste lamination, and encaustic/shellac translucence. Section two covers: paste papers, litho-crayon rubbing effects, gampi layering, and hot-stamping with metal type and ornaments.
Participants will have the opportunity to create and produce a variety of decorated papers suitable for book covers, pages and end-sheets. Translucence, color, textures, and patterns: unlock all the possibilities of paper in this decoration intensive.
Required Materials:
- All materials will be provided by CBA at no additional cost to the student.
