Camp Pulp! aims to encourage Campers to dip their deckle into the magic of Papermaking! Campers will physically create a series of art works through exploring color choice, composition, process and natural fibers. Paper Pulp is an expansive medium, offering the chance to explore forms of mark-making through processes like: “pulp drawing”, “pulp painting”, layering, inclusions, spraying, stenciling, patterning, collage and more. Campers will learn to work with Cotton, Fine Cotton, and Abaca pulp to practice with a variety of materials and a lite range of processes. Participants will learn about the origins of each fiber and engage with examples that highlight their potential uses.
