Paper Making Pulp Sculpting

In Pulp Sculpting, participants will be using recycled paper and plant pulp to create 3D sculptures focusing on form and texture. This workshop does not require a particular skill level, as we will be playing around with creative new ways to use paper pulp other than the traditional pulled sheet method. Participants will leave with at least one of their own pulp sculptures, and contribute to a larger collaborative sculpture that will find a place in the community.

Class fee is $40
Maximum of 10 students
