At the October 7 General Meeting, Julie Cline will conduct a hands-on, interactive class in "Making Hand Made Paper."

This meeting will be at Vineyard Center instead of Cribari Conference Room.  Holiday Faire contracts will be available after the meeting.

Here is the list of materials needed for this  interaction, free to all Villagers and their guests.

If you can save or supply any of these, bring to the Art Room before October 7 or call Monita.

Supply List for Paper Making with VACA               Julia Cline — October 7, 2019

Equipment:

Embroidery and Quilting Hoops (NOT prized hoops that you use for crafting—these will be           submerged in water!)

Thrift Store Blenders  (You'll have a lot more fun if you have your own blender.)  we have 3 and are looking for more.  Check out the week end estate sales.

Old Towels and Absorbent Rags (at least one towel and one rag per person)

Plastic Tubs (you must be able to hold your hoop with both hands and put your hands and the hoop into the tub with room to spare)

Large Yogurt or Cottage Cheese Containers (or something similar, with a wide mouth, able to hold water and big enough to put your fist into) some available in the Art Room.

Flat Surface to Hold Your Wet Paper (plexiglas, clean cookie sheet, gatorboard, foam core wrapped in saran, etc.)

Thrift Store Colanders  (It's good if there are several for the class—maybe at least one for every 3 students.)

Base Materials:

Shredded Watercolor Paper (doesn't matter whether it has watercolor on it)

Paper of different textures and colors (paper bags, egg cartons, doilies, stationary, junk mail, colorful napkins, dress patterns, office paper)

Dryer lint

**You may want to prepare some of the base papers using a paper shredder, but leave some of it to tear up on the day we make the paper, so that you will have the option of imbedding larger pieces within your base paper to create different textures, or to create a design or a scene.***

Augments:

Colorful  Recycled Augments like candy wrappers, easily cut up plastics, rubber bands, frayed threads from fabrics—the sky is the limit here.

Natural materials such as leaves, petals, scraps of bark, etc.

Decorative Augments—commercially produced stars, sparkling shapes, whatever small items you would like to imbed in your papers

I will be bringing the hardware cloth (to make sure you have the correct kind). I will also bring a few hoops and screens, as well as some tubs. I have rags as well, but you cannot have too many rags.
