9/16 Workshop: It's Not Just the Fiber
On the evening of September 16, artists and the authors of Radical Paper, Lynn Sures and Michelle Samour, demonstrated the different characteristics of papers made with raw flax fiber beaten for different lengths of time, and bleached finely beaten abaca fiber for sheets and for pulp drawing. Participants experimented with these techniques and fibers. Samples of a variety of papers including those made with corn, Siberian iris, Chinese silver grass, bagasse, New Zealand Flax, and vegetable papyrus, were available for all to investigate.
