Paper making class in Meyers

Bona Fide Books will offer Introduction to Handmade Paper on Sept. 8, 5:30-8:30pm with artist Carol Brown.

This workshop is for those who want to learn to make handmade paper at home. Students will prepare a vat of pulp, pull sheets of paper with a mould and deckle, “couch” the sheets of paper and press it to dry. Students will work with different fibers and make a stack of paper using a variety of techniques.

Come prepared to get wet; closed-toe shoes are suggested.

Brown studied paper making at the Glassell School of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where she received a certificate in printmaking. She has taken a papermaking workshop at Magnolia Editions in Oakland with David Kimbell and also with Rhiannon Alpers at Sierra Nevada College. She has made handmade papers for six summers in her home studio.

The class fee is $35, plus $5 material fee.

The class will be at Bona Fide Books in Meyers, 1069 Magua St., No. 4. Space is limited. To sign up, go online or call 530.545.1373.
