Woodwalk Handmade Paper Center
WoodwalkGallery.com/news
Classes will be held in the handmade paper center, located off the lower parking lot, and throughout Woodwalk Gallery’s site and facility at 6746 County Road G, just south of Egg Harbor.
Participants will use the resources of local plants, flowers, grasses and trees for ideas and as materials to combine with handmade paper.
Classes will be held throughout the months of July and August on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then one intensive week in September ending in an exhibit and reception. Every class is self- contained and is also interrelated to the other classes.
Classes are open to adults, children, families and grandparents, (also open to gardeners, scrapbookers, nature lovers and of course, artists!) There will be a small supply fee of $2.50/day due the 1st day of each class. Class size is limited so please register early.
For more detail and registration, call Kirsten Christianson: (920)487-2729 or email kcchristian@itol.com
Introduction to Papermaking:
Friday, July 17, 9-12pm, $20
This 1 day class is about the basics: sheet formation in the western tradition, pressing and drying. It also includes stamping into handmade paper for small frameable pieces and for cards. Students will be encouraged to add dried natural materials such as leaves, seeds and grasses to the paper slurries for texture and color.
II. The Flowers of Door County, Painting with Paper:
Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19, 9-12pm, $36
This 2 day workshop will emphasize the local flora of Door County and how to translate it into colorful handmade paper. The class will start with the basics of Class I and then step into the projects using colored paper pulp.
III. Make Your Own House in Handmade Paper:
Friday and Saturday, July 24, 25, 9-12pm, $36
Learn to make paper, using all the bright paper pulps possible. Add a bit of Door County with local leaves, grasses and branches - for texture, and then create your own home scene. You can even create yourself and add your own dog or cat.
IV.The Birds and Butterflies of Door County in Handmade Paper:
Sunday July 26, 9am-3pm $36 This is a 1 day opportunity to work with all of the luscious properties of handmade paper combined with natural materials to create a beautiful bird or butterfly – even a dragonfly!
V. The Wild Plants of Door County - Intro to Papermaking in Depth:
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 7, 8, 9, $50
This 3 day class will cover the basics of making paper and continue with laminating, embossing and embedding. The wild plants will be the focus as we experiment with color and collage.
VI. The Trees of Door County, Handmade Paper and Sculptural Form:
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 21,22,23, 9-12pm ,$50
This 3 day class will focus on the sculptural properties of high shrinkage fibers. Students will learn to cast with abaca and flax paper and how to use tree branches as armatures that can become an integral part of the sculpture. This is a unique way to deal with sculpture that is as light as a feather!
VII. Handmade Paper Intensive - a Sense of Place and Creativity Explored:
Tuesday -Saturday, September 15-19, 9am-12pm, Exhibit and Reception Saturday, September19, 5pm, $85.
An intense and yet leisurely 5 day workshop will work with the basics of making paper in 2 dimensions as well as in 3 dimensions; and will process local fiber (ex: cattail), some gathered on site. Sharing ideas and experiences will be encouraged as we work carefully and then often spontaneously. The materials will lure us on!
Kirsten Christianson is an environmental artist who learns from nature and whose natural expression in handmade paper experiments with wild fibers, local plants, branches and stones. Artistically she is represented at Woodwalk Gallery.
The Handmade Paper Center at Woodwalk offers classes and workshops that promote handmade paper as an art form and means of creative expression.
