Material Memory: Pulp Casting with SR Lejeune

Using experimental casting processes rooted in hand papermaking techniques, students will learn to record dimension and texture with paper pulp. Building on technical basics such as fiber properties, sheet formation and vacuum table usage, students will apply these skills to a variety of paper casting methods. This workshop will cover a wide range of techniques including low-relief collagraph matrices, laminate casting with high shrinkage fiber, miniature moulds with oven-bake clay, and one part plaster mould making. This experimental workshop will emphasize the unique nature of paper as a sculptural medium through a wide exploration of this material. All levels are welcome.

NOTE : There is a pre-class Zoom info session for this class scheduled for Friday, August 7, from 11am -12pm
