Experimental Exploration

Learn the ancient Japanese craft of hand kneading paper known as Momigami, as you dive into an experimental contemporary approach to create 3D sculptural vessels with tantalizing texture and interesting surface design.

Finding freedom in intuitive expression

Beginning with an overview of the ancient craft of momigami as the foundation of our work, I’ll guide participants through the process of working out design concepts with an intuitive approach to create a sculptural 3D work with and without inner support structures. 

Techniques covered in this course include: The ancient craft of hand kneading paper known as momigami, developing experimental sculptural designs, attaching elements to the interior, creating lidded vessels,finishing techniques with and without the use encaustic wax.

Discussion will include displaying work as free standing or developed in relief style to hang on the wall.

This workshop will guide you each step of the way, from paper selection, creating the traditional paste, hand kneading paper, proper attachment techniques, developing experimental intuitive layers and surface details that make the entire work a tactile, visceral experience for artist and viewer.
