Weave and dye paper scrapes into new works of art!

The simple process of weaving paper strips can yield magical results of rhythmic color and pattern. Local artist Kathy Klompas will guide you in understanding a few approaches to get started and will wow you with her sample book of possibilities. The fine art world has been embracing the process with bold large-scale weavings of street posters to delicate images from a variety of paper ephemera. While all materials and tools will be supplies, perhaps you will want to bring papers that inspire you – magazine pages, photos, paper bags, or artwork that you would like to repurpose!P﻿lease Note: Materials Fee is required.
