Here is Susan's informative course description which makes me want to do the course this minute!
"The excitement of a child ‘opening a surprise package’ occurs with the
opening of each bundle of itajime (Japanese for
fold and clamp) dyed paper! Learn to master intricate traditional patterns
and processes and then explore many different dye and coloring
possibilities. Itajime can be highly skilled and controlled but also
always offers up the unexpected.
Work from simple to complex in this structured workshop as your personal
stack of amazing papers grows! Design, color theory, and conceptual
problem challenges will be applied to the patterned papers that you work to
create. View actual examples and slide lectures on historic and
contemporary itajime papers and artworks. Then work on artwork
compositions or projects (i.e. book arts, origami, sculptural forms) of your
choosing, based on demonstrations, assignments, and your own ideas. This
will be a whirlwind workshop, jam-packed with new information, experimentation,
invention and your own creativity!"
A list of supplies you will need to bring with you can be found here.
