Paste papering is like adult finger painting. It is a quick, wet, seemingly sloppy, but intentional method of decorating paper. A dance of choreographed steps and techniques, culminating in the papers you are hoping for, or ‘happy mistakes’. Inspired by Karen Olsen’s exhibition “The Embrace,” we will begin the morning with forest inspired colors, textures & marks. Then progress to other combinations that bring us joy. Paste paper can be used for collage, bookmaking, card making and more! All skill levels welcome.
