#4002 - Japanese Papermaking, with Anne Covell - June 25

This one day course will be an introduction to traditional Nagashizuki papermaking. Through slides and video, we will take a look at how mulberry papers were made historically in Japan. We will then process raw kozo fiber through cooking, cleaning, and hand beating to ready it for the vat. We will spend the afternoon sheetforming, pressing, and drying sheets.

Saturday, June 25, 2016 from 9 am to 4 pm. There is a $40 materials fee, payable to BookArtsLA.
