Pulp Ecologies | Biomaterial Workshops
This workshop was held in two 2-hour sessions on March 2nd, 2024.
Students explored the many possibilities of papermaking through various pulp sources and applications of traditional and alternative fibers. Techniques included pulp preparation, sheet forming, pulp painting, solid and hollow casting, and additives to transform pulp and paper into desired 2D and 3D forms.
Sessions were led by guest artist Haley Mackeil (21 Printmaking) in the Nature Lab's Biodesign Makerspace, and were open to the RISD and Brown community (faculty, staff, students).
