PAPER ARTS (3rd-7th grades)
Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri / July 29 – August 1 / 2:30-5:00pm / $275
Instructor Michael Korol
Often the tools used to create and facilitate art get overlooked. In this course, the unsung heroes of great art get to shine as the tools themselves become the artwork! We’ll investigate all things paper, from pulp to book, including printmaking techniques. Students will make booklets using handmade bindings, and pages of beautiful handmade paper. These are skills they can take home and build on for future handicrafts!
