Paste Paper WorkshopPaste paper is a centuries-old decorative technique used in bookbinding, collage, and other creative projects. By applying pigmented paste to paper and manipulating it with various tools, you can create vibrant, expressive designs. The process is simple, fun, and offers endless possibilities for pattern and colour exploration. In this hands-on class, you will be introduced to the history of paste paper, along with the materials, tools, and techniques used in both traditional and contemporary practices. We’ll explore colour theory, pattern design, and creative problem solving with plenty of time devoted to experimentation.
