Register now for PaperPlay! Featured here are classes coming up soon. Check our website for details on this year's exciting affordable offerings:
Introductory Screen Printing, with Nora McGinnis
Fri., Oct.14, 2016, 9am - 4pm
$65 plus $50 materials
UA Modular Classroom at Campbell Ave and Roger Roads
Come learn the basics of silk screen printing and create your own
original, patterned papers. Great for use in bookmaking, collage and anywhere else you use decorative paper. You will learn how to easily make reusable plastic stencils, master the technique of printing, and explore the possibilities of multi-color randomly repeating patterns. Join in on a fun-filled day and leave with the knowledge and materials to continue designing and printing at home.
Discover the art of Suminagashi, a fun and easy Japanese marbling technique. Create unique and beautifully patterned rice papers for use n bookmaking, collage, and more. This water based method is non-toxic and quick to set up, making it an excellent choice for your home studio.
Orizomegami with Judy Bjorling
Sat., Nov. 5, 1pm - 4pm
$35 plus $10 materials
UA Modular Classroom at Campbell Ave and Roger Roads
Would you like to try a simple technique for creating patterned papers that you can use in bookmaking, collage, origami,or gift wrap? Judy has been using this simple fold-dying technique with both children and adults for many years. It can be messy, fun and yields, sometimes, surprising results. We will experiment with clothing dyes, food coloring, permanent artist's inks, and natural dyes.
In general, the more precise that you are, the more symmetrical your results. Those of you who know Judy know that she is not interested in precision and uses her papers, for the most part, in collages.
Come experiment to see how creative you can be!

relief print. Since we all seem to love books we are also going to have
the set-up to make a 4 1/2 X 6 1/2 collaborative book.
