66-6622 Intermediate Papermaking

Papermaking has sophisticated artistic applications for many media including sculpture, photography, drawing and installation. This course is the semester-long experience combining technical skills with individual project development in hand papermaking. In the first part of the class, studio time is dedicated to technical considerations in paper including the use of the laser cutter and Epson printer for paper art works, alternatives to the traditional mold and deckle, Asian papermaking techniques, plaster mold making, and pulp inclusions and experiments. During the second portion of the class, students develop directed projects employing these new skills through individual meetings with the instructor, and group critique.
