Max. 10 participants

Participants will learn a contemporary technique used in Silk Fibre Papermaking processes. They will create colourful, textured, unique, 'fabric – like' silk papers using raw, untreated silk fibres (coccoons, thrawsters fibres, carded raw silk) combined with silk tops, pure plant fibres, threads etc. Striking colours are achieved by dyeing the fibres with cold water textile dyes.

The finished pieces are suitable for writing, painting, printmaking (dry point and carborundum works well, with unusual textures) textile art- and collage works, stitching, embroidery and are ideal for 3 dimensional, sculptural projects.
