About this Workshop:
With its lovely deckled edges, toothy texture and thickness, it’s hard not to swoon when you see a stack of handmade paper. Join us for this Make+Take and walk away with your very own pack of elegant handmade paper. Give them away as a thoughtful gift or keep them for yourself (we know you’ll want to!).
Level: All levels welcome – no experience necessary
Registration closes June 11, 2024 and all materials are provided.
CLASS MATERIALS LIST:
Registration includes all materials—just come ready to have fun! In addition, you may want to bring the following optional items for class:
- Personal apron (waterproof recommended, but even a cooking apron will do – you will get wet!)
- Shoes with good tread (water-resistent/proof recommended – the floor will be wet and can get slick in spots)
YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Isabella Whitfield is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses site-responsive installation, papermaking, and sculpture. She makes meditative, performative work that considers the contradictory relationships between the environment, physical homeland, human labor, and historical object functionality. Whitfield’s projects often contain an act of collaborative generosity, inviting the viewer to become part of the work through physical immersion or participatory artistic creation. She has a Bachelors in Studio Art and Politics from the University of Virginia and has exhibited major works at New City Arts, Ruffin Gallery, the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Museum and InLight 2021 with 1708 Gallery. She recently completed residencies with the Visual Arts Center of Richmond and OxBow School of Art. Learn more about her work at www.isabellawhitfield.com.
