In this workshop Cass will share her process for turning remnant papers and pressed botanicals into textured sheets of paper – a really tactile and rewarding process!
We’ll begin with the basics, experimenting with different paper pulps, colours and textures, then move on to embedding words, seeds, petals and pressed botanicals, resulting in a collection of papers that can be used in a whole range of creative projects (including bookbinding) and as artworks in their own right.
All materials will be provided but you are invited to bring your own remnant papers to pulp along with any pressed botanicals, seeds and/or dried petals that you would like to embed in your papers.
About Your Tutor:
“I have a background in Fine Art Sculpture, which is were I first discovered bookbinding – making my own sketchbooks out of whatever was to hand so I could get the sculptures I wanted to make out of my head, onto paper and into the world. Driven by a desire to help people explore their own creativity I went on to complete a Masters in Art Museum & Gallery Education, which led to me working as an Art Educator at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Artist in Residence at the Girvan Lantern Festival and taking on the role of Development Officer with Voluntary Arts Scotland, supporting community groups of all shapes and sizes to develop and deliver creative activities – all the while teaching myself bookbinding and running bookbinding workshops. In January 2019 I took the leap and went fully freelance and set up Bookbinding with Cass, which enabled me to put together a dynamic programme of creative classes and work in partnership with some fantastic community organisations, sharing my love of bookbinding with people from a range of backgrounds.”
