Art of Handmade Paper Workshop - Supply List, Instructor, Ellen Miffitt

Deckle and molds
Blender and linter/abaca for pulp
Vats, felts, scissors
Iron & newspaper
Staple Gun – waterproof tape - fiberglass screening
Participant Materials:
Please bring an old iron and newspapers to class if you wish to speed up the process to dry your paper by ironing.
If you wish to make your own deckle and mold:
Bring eight canvass stretchers – four 6” and four 8” or a plastic embroidery hoop
Felts – two packages disposable dishcloths and/or felts [8”X10” pieces]
Suggestion – buy yardage of felt at Joann’s and cut into pieces
newspapers – plastic bag to carry paper home
Objects to embed– – just about anything –
leaves, feathers, ribbon, thread, dry petals
pipe cleaners shapes, dried flowers, string, yarn, knotted thread
plant fibers, sequins, seeds, beads, confetti, tea leaves
Bring objects to emboss – press object into paper -image in paper – they should be flat like a key
I use natural products like curry, paprika, cloves, beets, onion skin dye to color the pulp. You may wish to bring rubber gloves for using with the colored paper pulp as the curry does discolor your fingers.
