Georgia Baisier and Eugenia Uhl will present this exciting workshop.  On Saturday, the plan is to make paste paper.  This is achieved by applying a base layer of a liquid mixture of art paste, colored with acrylic paints, to wet paper.  Then we apply another layer to the dry paper with paste and make marks with various tools.  The dried paste paper can then be written upon and also used to make books.  Both days will be filled with making paste paper and various types of simple bound books with paste paper.  Sunday, Eugenia will also show us the method of writing on the paste papers we have made.  Be prepared, making paste paper is addictive!

At the end of the two days you should have plenty of paste paper, a couple of books and have learned how to write on the paste paper.  Directions will be provided to make additional books on your own.
