Festival of Stuff: Papermaking Mandy Brannan
Book artist and papermaker Mandy Brannan helped participants to discover the creative possibilities of combining two papermaking techniques; traditional style Japanese papermaking and recycled papermaking. The masterclass began with hand-beating kozo fibres, which add both strength and delicacy to the work. The following stage was working with recycled pulps with found papers, finally creating experimental paper sheets by combining both kozo fibres and recycled pulp.
