Positive & Negative Space: Process-Based Image Making with Lauren Krukowski

Join Dieu Donné’s Paper Institute for a three-day workshop held in our Brooklyn studio, Friday through Sunday, August 7–9, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

This experimental papermaking class will explore multi-layered image making with translucent abaca fibers and opaque linen pulp paint. We will build complex, ethereal images using layers of additive and subtractive techniques in sheet formation, pulp painting, watermarks, and wet collage. Participants will be invited to use the positive and negative space in their images to explore transparency and opacity of materials and additive and subtractive techniques. Students will create a series of small-scale experimental paper works. No prior papermaking experience is required.
