All of the sessions were held virtually except for two days for paper-making, which is how we captured these images.

Papermaking Open Studio

Communication received a MAC Arts Education grant for our Teens Open Art Studio program. Four teaching artists in different disciplines were employed for four weeks of free art classes. All of the sessions were held virtually except for two days for paper-making, which is how we captured these images.

This workshop focused on the process of making vibrantly colored, translucent paper sheets. Each participant pigmented their own pulp and produced multiple sheets of different colors, experimenting with mixing and overlaying, watermarks and inclusions.

"£€$$," pulp print on handmade paper. Artist: John LaFalce. This work will be on display as part of the exhibit, "Turn the Page, Sing a Line, Form a Sheet: Hand Papermaking for Artistic Expression and Social Justice," opening Wednesday, August 23 at the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY.

We removed the deckle and placed a sheet of mesh/window screen over the sheet of paper still on the mold.

Students used a paint roller to soak up excess water and to flatten the sheet of paper.

Afterwards we removed the mesh and flipped the sheet of paper onto a piece of cloth to dry.

The Top is the return envelop.

The Bottom is the tare off sheet used to by Netfilx to print your mailing information on. This is the sheet that we are going to recyle.

This is the back side of Earth and Air. It is paste paper and "unpasted" paper.

It had to be covered up when we mounted it.

I got tired of putting the 3 to 6 tare sheets from my Netflix movies into my recycle bin. So I decided to do recycle them myself!

The new pieces of paper will be 5 X 8 inches.

added kozo, mitsumata. additional PVA inadvertantly made it look less skinnish than originally but c'est la guerre, no?
