Tutor - Elaine Cooper

2-day workshop

Monday 13 and Tuesday 14 July 2026, 10am - 4pm

Japanese paper is incredibly beautiful, versatile and strong. Draw inspiration from Japanese techniques, and explore both traditional and modern processes to create decorative papers from natural fibres. Practice laminating and water piercing, Japanese folds and paper manipulation. This fascinating hands-on session is fun, informative and suitable for beginners and those with experience of paper making. Elaine will vary the techniques taught in previous classes to allow those who have attended her sessions before to expand and develop their skills. 

Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for a studio environment and bring a plastic bag for taking wet work home with you on the second day.
