To be added to our wait list, please email Horacio Arias-Rodriguez at hariasro@kennesaw.edu.* Discover the art of traditional Japanese papermaking in this hands-on, one day workshop led by artist and educator Kyle Holland. Participants will learn to create washi — Japanese paper — using the nagashizuki sheet formation technique. The workshop covers fiber preparation, sheet formation with a sugeta, pressing and drying methods, and techniques for producing high-quality washi. Attendees will leave with their own handmade sheets, showcasing the texture, luster, strength and beauty that set washi apart from other papers. Holland is a book artist, papermaker and printmaker, and serves as faculty and studio manager for the MFA Book Arts Program at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
