THE ART OF PAPERMAKING JACQUELINE MALLEGNI ENCAUSTIC ON PAPER SHERRY IKEDA ENCAUSTIC ART INSTITUTE, SANTA FE AUGUST 4 & 5 The ancient art forms of Papermaking and Encaustic merge in this two-day workshop taught by Jacqueline Mallegni and Sherry Ikeda. Saturday: Learn to make Japanese style paper, washi, from kozo, the bark of the paper mulberry. We will form sheets of beautiful handmade paper using a 5 x 7 inch mould and deckle. The paper made during this day-long workshop will be made specifically for use with encaustic. Participants will learn how to process kozo fiber from beating to sheet formation to drying. Foraged plant material from the EAI grounds may be added for color and texture.
