Session Four/June 25-29 Leandra
Spangler All Levels Emphasizing experimentation with papermaking techniques, participants will use cotton linter pulp to make many samples of handmade paper. Techniques will include flat sheet forming, layering color blocks, layering shapes of color (stencil/shaped deckles), shaping pulps by hand, creating textures (impressing, appliqué, hand manipulation), pulp painting and wet collage. Use of watermarks, pulp inclusions, pulp coloration, paper chemistry (sizing, formation aid), preparation of plant fibers and drying methods will be discussed. Students will construct a mold and deckle. Leandra has a M.Ed. from the University of Missouri, Columbia. Leandra’s passion for papermaking began in 1986 when she first plunged her hands into a vat of pulp. She has explored numerous ways of making paper (handmade and found) as a medium in her creative artistic expressions. Leandra worked for twenty-five years in the public school system teaching art before becoming a full time studio artist in 2002. Since that time she has taught nationwide.
