Rembrandt used Japanese paper for etchings, David Lynch used Japanese paper for lithographs, Hiroshige used Japanese paper for woodcut; and Inuit artists in Kinngait (formerly Cape Dorset) continue to use Japanese paper for stone cut and intaglio prints. Such varied techniques, styles, and times, but washi proved itself every time.
Join Sigrid Blohm and Paula Huisman, long time representatives of The Japanese Paper Place, as they provide a FREE overview of what makes washi so special. They will discuss what makes it different from western paper, share insights into how it is made, the fibres that are used, and how artists successfully collaborate with the paper in their printmaking practices. The presentation will include slides, in-person physical examples original work, and time for questions and answers. Registrants will receive an information package including samples of washi.
