Teacher's Japanese Papermaking Workshop
Monday, June 23 – Friday, June 27, 2008 from 9:00 am – 3:30pm
This workshop will be an in-depth study of Japanese Papermaking. It will cover the history of Japanese Papermaking and will explain its development and place in the culture and traditions of Japan. Join Berwyn Hung, an expert Japanese papermaker, and learn about all the stages of Japanese papermaking from fiber collection and fiber preparation to hands-on traditional Japanese papermaking. This workshop will include a session on making a Japanese papermaking mold or sugeta, as well as a session on Asian-style bookbinding. A portion of this workshop was developed by Emory University professors Dr. Mark Ravina and Dr. Cheryl Crowley.

The research was made possible by a grant from the Japan Foundation.

Teachers can earn 3 PLU credits by signing up for this workshop. Please check with your local professional learning coordinator to receive credit.
All materials are included in the cost of workshop.
