This course was designed to be an intensive introduction to East Asian papermaking using traditional fibers, tools, and techniques. The course also introduced bookbinding, letterpress, and 3-D paper casting as well as paper pulp painting and a look at the overlap of papermaking, a contemporary art practice. As travel to Japan where this course originated was not possible this year, the class instead traveled to the University of Iowa's Center for the Book and the Morgan Paper Conservatory in Cleveland, Ohio to work at the two pre-eminent centers of non-western papermaking in the United States. At each site, students worked with paper makers recognized around the country as leaders in their field as well as graduate students doing relevant research and studio artists whose practices imagine paper as central to contemporary art.
