Event Description

Chine colle is a beautiful process whereby a print is made onto a thin piece of Asian paper while simultaneously adhering it onto a thicker sheet of western paper. The results are delicate, subtle and elegant. You will learn how to cook and prepare the wheat paste adhesive, various application methods, plate and press preparation, and corrections after printing. We will also discuss and experiment with the different types of papers used in the process. This workshop is open to those new to the medium and repeat students interested in more in depth exploration of the process.

$140 non-members, $125 members
