Workshop: Korean Papermaking

Sunday Feb. 18, 2018 , 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Several textured sheets of paper or fabric in various colors, including off-white, beige, light green, navy blue, orange, turquoise, and gray, are laid out side by side on a wooden surface.

Here's your chance to dive into the unique aspects of paper with Steph Rue, an artist who works primarily with handmade paper and books. Participants will learn about the history, technique, and application of Korean papermaking.

Participants will also create felted paper using the joomchi method, paper cord using the jiseung method, and learn how to make paper thread for weaving cloth using a Japanese method called shifu. 

The event is currently at capacity, but spots on the waitlist are available at materialslab@austin.utexas.edu.
