After we came back from the magical travel in Japan, we made paper sculptures for the exhibition, SUBTLE SENSES: Eight Paper Works Inspired by the Journey in Japan at the student gallery in #209 Applied Arts Building. It is up until in the middle of September. The papermaking workshop was ended, and today is the day to go home. This is the view from the hotel lounge where we spend time together in the evenings. We miss it! It was a great trip!
We had bento boxes for dinner at the factory and took a mini-workshop of decorative paper dyeing techniques. It is the traditional techniques, but some of students made pretty contemporary patterns using these techniques.
We made more paper with flowing method. We also learned accumulative method to make paper, which is easy and quick. We dried papers we made yesterday. It was exciting to see how thin but strong our papers were!
We made papers all day! Instructors at the factory were impressed by how quickly we learned flowing method (nagashizuki) technique. We had great time to play with fiber, water and sukibune.
We had great time in Naoshima, but it is time to leave! We took ferry go to Shikoku island, where the paper making studio, Awagami Factory is.
