Paper made in Japan, washi, is well known for its translucency, strength, and absolute beauty. Learn how to make washi using both a Japanese mould (sugeta) and western mould adaptations. We will work with a locally sourced and renewable bark fiber, prepare pulp, set up vats, sheet form, and dry the paper for use in your work. We will also discuss and view projects made with this paper and some great resources for continued inspiration.
