Event Details
Paper making is an age old art form and we are so excited to offer this class for the first time at the ACAC.
The student will leave this class understanding: the basics of making hand-made paper from recycled papers such as printer paper, tissue paper, and other scrap papers, as well as incorporating natural elements such as flowers, petals, and leaves.
At the conclusion of the class, the student will have produced several colours and styles of hand- made paper which will be bound into a small book.
Please note this is a two part class that is required to allow the paper time to dry.
There is a $10 material fee that is paid to the teacher in cash on the first day of class.
Students do not need to bring any supplies on day 1 of the class.
On day 2 please bring a needle and some heavier thread.
Darian Lajoie is an artist from London, Ontario with a very diverse background in artistic pursuits. She works in natural fibres including wool, silk, cotton, and linen in both wet and needle felted sculptures, basketry, and framed pieces. She also does calligraphy and illumination, paper-making, and hand-made books. She exibits in several galleries across Ontario and has sold to collectors across Canada and the U.S. She takes her inspiration from historical artifacts, time periods, and methods of traditional artisans, and incorporates natural, found, and recycled materials in her work whenever possible. The ACAC is delighted to welcome Darian to our village.
