INTRODUCTORY DAY WORKSHOP (Saturday 11am - 4pm) £52.50 ORIGAMI PULP: Paper Arts Workshop is delighted to be hosting a new course on Origami, an introduction to the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. This workshop offers paper enthusiasts and makers space to learn more about the art of folding paper in a relaxed and friendly environment as you are guided through the following stages. Starting with basic folds and several simple models to 'warm up' and introduce the diagrams, tutor and expert paper folder Dennis Walker, will then guide participants through more intricate stages of making Origami with particular focus on the 'Butterfly', an intricate and delicate form. Dennis will teach the model from diagrams, explaining the symbols.and show that the model can be modified reasonably easily. Through demonstration you will learn how various papers will fold differently, even with following the same steps. If time allows, participants can try 'wet-folding' with either the butterfly, or some free-folding experimental techniques using soft or curved folds with a slightly damp paper to create a sculptural form. Students will produce several introductory models, three or four different butterflies and be supplied with a list of websites, books, shops and suppliers to enable further exploration of Origami after the course. A small box will be supplied for you to take your folded paper creations away.

This project has been postponed until Peace Paper visit on a UK tour at a later date. Fingers crossed... PEACE PAPER PROJECT PULP: Paper Arts Workshop hopes to be hosting Peace Paper Project sometime again in the future and I am looking forward to welcoming paper artist, activist and therapist Drew Matott to host a schedule of workshops with artists, educators and local groups, with the aim of exploring papermaking as a therapeutic, creative process and establishing links with community groups. To launch the project, a 2 day workshop suited to artists, art therapists, educators and all those working within participatory art settings will be scheduled. During this workshop participants will transform a significant item, such as a loved one's shirt, Grandma's table cloth or old jeans into beautiful paper and watermarked paper art. Day 2 will have you working on a larger scale, experimenting with layering, stencilling and pulp painting with coloured pulps, and if time allows, participants can explore simple book forms with paper made the previous day. The aim of this activity is to experience first hand the 'symbolic transformation' which occurs during the making process and, in collaboration with PULP, to consider incorporating these techniques into your own practice with groups, particularly where a therapeutic, social and healing outcome is desired. In addition, a series of workshops with local groups / organisations will also be scheduled and we hope to work with individuals and staff from Women's Support, Recovering Mental Health and Ex - Service Personnel. Please get in touch if you have a group that would like to be involved.
