Paper Vessels - Momigami In-Store Class Nov 15
type: Product
description: Paper Vessels - Momigami In-Store Class Sunday, Nov 15, 1-4pm Instructor: Janet Strickler Limit: 6 students. All participants must be 15 years or older. Class Details Momigami is a traditional Japanese paper that’s prized for its decorative qualities as well as its flexibility and strength. It’s made by treating paper with a starchy substance called konnyaku and then kneading it until the paper becomes soft and super flexible. The result is something that feels and handles like fabric. It can be sewn, either by hand or with a sewing machine, and was used in ancient Japan to make containers, bags, and even clothes. Through experimentation, mixed media artist Janet Strickler has learned to make her own momigami. She’s drawn to the technique because of its versatility, but also because it’s simple, fun, and inexpensive. Janet brings her homemade momigami for you to work with so that you can experience how the paper can be used. The different construction and decorating techniques that she demonstrates are the ones she’s found most useful. Then it’s your turn to fold, glue, and stitch a vessel of your own. It’s hard to believe that the papers she brings in have been made from items like discarded security envelopes, used wrapping paper, scrapbook papers, brown paper bags, maps, and fragments of more traditional Japanese papers. Toward the end of class Janet demonstrates how to make momigami and gives everyone a sample of the raw material to knead. That way, you can experience how the momigami feels when done and also be more confident about making some on your own. If you’re interested, Janet has small containers of konnyaku powder for you to take home. In addition to the momigami vessel you make, you’ll leave class with an appreciation for momigami’s unique qualities as well as a good foundation for doing more with it. Enjoy the fun! An email will be sent to participants the Monday before the class. Classes with homework may receive pre-class info earlier. No email? Do…
