Book Arts Lounge: Paper Plates

Explore using paper as a printing medium to create small variable editions for mixed media drawings or artist book projects with several innovative techniques. Participants will also learn image transfer techniques using mulberry paper (kozo) as "carbon paper" for transferring images using ink, gesso, and methyl cellulose/acrylic paint that results in two or three versions of one image from one "paper press run."
Bring 5 - 10 magazine images and/or 8 1/2" x 11" copies of photos (simple imagery works best - the figure, a face, animals, simple still life), various drawing tools (woodless pencils in 6B, 9B, a stylus).
