Workshop Description
This class is all about creating colorful patterned paper (with a gel-printing plate) that can be used in other mixed-media projects.
We’ll start off making a Leporello case to store smaller papers. This folder combines origami and bookbinding techniques to create a simple and effective structure.
Then we will swing into color and pattern, using acrylic paint, gel plates, Play-Doh (seriously), foam stamps, stencils, different papers, and lots of textures! This is a chance to play with different methods of creating colorful papers for use in other projects. Students will leave with a collection of papers housed in their case, Play-Doh for future fun, and any stencils or stamps they create in class.
