Teacher’s Japanese Papermaking Workshop
This workshop is an in-depth study of Japanese Papermaking. It will cover the history of Japanese Papermaking and will explain its development and place in the culture and traditions of Japan. Join an expert Japanese papermaker and learn about all the stages of Japanese papermaking from fiber collection and fiber preparation to hands-on traditional Japanese papermaking. This workshop will include a session on making a Japanese papermaking mold, or sugeta, as well as a session on Asian-style bookbinding with Andrew Hamilton, a talented book artist. A portion of this workshop was developed by Emory Professors Dr. Mark Ravina and Dr. Cheryl Crowley. The research was made possible by a grant from the Japan Foundation.
