Description

Pulp Painting w/ Jessica Fong Join Jessica Fong on Wed., June 16, from 10 am - 12 pm for a morning of colorful fun! Jessica will take participants through some of the basics of papermaking and introduce them to the beautiful world of pulp painting. Pulp painting is a process that uses pigmented paper pulp as a painting medium. The pigmented pulp is applied, freely or through a stencil, onto a freshly formed sheet of handmade paper. Participants will learn a variety of ways to work with pulp as paint: freehand, with stencils, and with a pulp transfer technique. Enrollment for the class will end 1 day before the class is scheduled to start. Must have a min of 4 participants or the class will be canceled. Max number of participants is 6. Scholarships are available for Low-Income Participants. Please email us at [email protected] for more information! Tuleburg Press is working to build literacy and writing confidence for all ages through book publishing, one-on-one mentoring, community outreach, and writing workshops. Soon many of those activities will occur at THE WRITE PLACE, a downtown Stockton creative writing and book arts center. Modeled after 826 Valencia in San Francisco, 916 Ink in Sacramento, and the San Francisco Center for the Book, THE WRITE PLACE will teach writing, bookbinding, and letterpress printing on vintage presses. We see the center as a walking-distance friendly spot for students enrolled in the many downtown town schools, but it will offer creative writing and book arts workshops for writers of all ages. Writing groups and book clubs will be able to use the space in the evenings. On weekends THE WRITE PLACE will host author readings and artists who teach paper making, book binding, and paper crafts of many kinds.
