August 28 (Saturday), 10 am - 3 pm

Carol Entin

Creating pastepapers is akin to sophisticated finger painting for grownups.  Carol will show you various techniques to make absolutely gorgeous colorwashes and elegant designs on quality paper.  Come and rediscover your inner kindergartener!  Every piece of paper is attractive, no matter what you do!

To create our pastepapers, we will use a cooked paste to which acrylic paints are added.  The thick colored paste is brushed onto wet paper and textured using anything for a tool - hands, spatulas, banana peels, combs, sponges, sneaker tread - anything goes!  We will also use Carol’s collection of textured rollers specifically designed to create beautiful repeating patterns.

By the end of the workshop you will be able to create at least 5 sheets of pastepaper measuring 18″ x 24″ each.  You’ll probably want to do more, and additional sheets are available!

Come the next day for our Pastepaper Journal class!  We will learn how to iron, cut, and arrange the papers to cover a blank journal or photo album.   Leftover papers can be taken home and used for bookbinding, cards, envelopes, gift wrap, and covering boxes.  Carol will have examples in each of the classes!
