Papermaking is an immensely versatile process that widens creative horizons for book artists, printmakers, collage artists, textile practitioners, sculptors and interdisciplinary artists. It is inexpensive and sustainable, and can be done with household equipment and recycled paper. Learning at Morley allows students to go beyond this, as the studio is equipped with a Hollander beater to recycle rags and produce pulp with different structural and sculptural properties from a variety of fibres. Techniques and materials from both Western and Eastern (Japanese) traditions are used. Your tutors will guide you through all the techniques needed (Western and Eastern) to turn this humble material into your own unique works. Make paper for use in textile artworks and clothing. Work on a small scale or make large installations. Produce vessels of astonishing individuality: lightweight and ethereal or substantial and tactile. Dip armatures for stunning basketry or sculptures into pulp, coil strips into woven projects, fold stitch and weave your papers; make mobiles, create artists' books, journals and portfolios and use it for drawings and paintings. Work with layers and pulp forming, try embossing and moulding. Explore how your own handmade paper transforms your prints or use your individual papers to make collages or paint with pulp like David Hockney and Chuck Close. Your final project will be an artist's book using your own paper, ideas and media. The possibilities are endless.
