We still have a few places left in our workshop “No Blank Pages” with Barb Adams on July 7th. “This workshop will focus on creating pages that inform or excite by the addition of colour and interest to make your page richer. This will provide an inviting background for later themed text and images. “ Head to our website for more info or to make a booking. We’d love to see you there.............#papermakers #papermaker #papermaking #papermakersofvictoria #paper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papercrafts #pulp #mouldanddeckle #paperartist #paperartists #workshop #paperart #handcrafted #handmade #Victoria #melbourne #colour #decklededge #decklededgepaper #deckleedgedpaper #artistbook #handmadebooks #handmadebook #book #books

Our sign recently got a revamp and is looking fabulous: Posted @withregram • @pulp.paper.page Out at the @papermakers_of_victoria studios today using the Reiner beater to produce pulp for my demonstrations at @oldgippstown on Saturday and an upcoming beginner's papermaking workshop.

Anzara has agreed to an artist talk when she returns to tell us all about her experiences in Japan. Posted @withregram • @anzaraclarkartist Washing Washi. Yes that is correct. Washi that has been treated in special ways can be washed and hung up to dry without damage to the washi. It feels a bit like chamois when wet. I was privileged to see this today along with beautiful kamiko artefacts and exquisite Shifu by Senoo san. All at Kami No Sato.

We have some very talented members, evidenced by a workshop run for us on the weekend by member Lyn Nicholls on aluminium etching. Some beautiful results from all participants. Posted @withregram • @linda.gwen100 Had an enjoyable time @papermakers_of_victoria workshop with Lyn Nicholls learning Aluminium Plate etching. Lyn was a great tutor. The participants created some terrific plates and prints. I will be using this technique further once I experiment a bit more with the possibilities ............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recyclepaper #handmade-paper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #printmaking #prints #etching

WORKSHOP - Colour and Composition Sydney Artist,

WORKSHOP - Colour and CompositionSydney Artist, Claire Brach, will lead us into the wonderful world of colour where we will discover what we like, what we don’t like and how colours react together. We will explore how colours affect perceptions of art and how to pick what works and what doesn’t in our own practice.We will look at composition in art and how to create works that fulfill a range of outcomes. Perhaps your interest lies in creating designs with repeating patterns, or pieces with specific focal points, or dynamic abstraction. You will get the opportunity to explore all this and build your own range of unique small samples.No previous experience required, just an interest in exploration.Date: Sunday 3rd March, 2024 (10am-4pm)Tutor: Claire BrachLocation: Bundoora ParkCost: $100 Members, $130 Non-membersBookings and more info via our website https://papermakers.org.au/workshop/creative-colour-composition/ .............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #pulp #mouldanddeckle #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #workshop #colour #composition #design

Sharing some beautiful work by Gail. Posted @withregram • @gail_stiffe_books_paper This week's paper. Only details from "2182", the piece that I've submitted to the blarney books @blarneybooksandart Biblio art prize. The full piece is long and narrow. Also used up some of the coloured pulps by adding glitter that might end up in my Christmas cards. Made some paper beads with the yabbers group inspired by a meeting with Claudia Lee @libertypapermaking the previous month.My work "2181" is inspired by one scene from "The Hummingbird Effect," by Kate Mildenhall @kmildenhall where young girls explore a city submerged due to rising sea levels. As a paper artist with many years of experience, I often return to painting with dyed paper pulp. Paper, being a watery substance in its creation, suits this watery scene. I craft intricate landscapes using dyed paper pulp to capture the fluidity of nature and the fragility of our environment. My art aims to evoke wonder, reflection, and hope, encouraging viewers to connect with the themes of transformation and adaptation. It reflects the beauty of art in the face of change, just as the submerged city does .............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #pulp #mouldanddeckle #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #decklededge #decklededgepaper #deckleedgedpaper #plantbased #plantfibre #plantfiber @iapma @primrosepaperart #pulppainting

Gail and Leanne attended the opening of @anzaraclarkartist 's exhibition Where the Light Enters. Anzara "explores the idea that wounds, cracks and brokenness allow light to penetrate spaces that would otherwise remain hidden, invisible and unaddressed." The exhibition is on until December 3rd and admission is free.............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #pulp #mouldanddeckle #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #decklededge #decklededgepaper #deckleedgedpaper #plantbased #plantfibre #plantfiber #wearableart #momigami #joomchi #paperartexhibition @iapma @primrosepaperart
