Making an East Asian Book: Japanese Paper Making

Japanese paper, or washi, may look delicate. However, its long fibers make a strong paper that s often used in art making, conservation, and can even be made into clothing. This method of papermaking uses fiber from the mulberry tree and, influenced by Chinese and Korean methods, was first developed in Japan in the 7th century. At this workshop we ll make paper using the traditional method of Japanese papermaking from start to finish, and you ll have a sheet of your own to take home or that you can use in the subsequent workshops. This workshop is the first in a series. You can attend one or all of the workshops. Please register for each one separately. (Woodblock printing on Nov. 13 and Book binding on Nov. 21.) Instructor: Eli Boyne
