Description
GO FISH! And learn paper making, too! Turn plants into fish and take home your unique creation. In this fun family workshop, you will learn the process of making paper from plants and take home a unique, expressive sculptural fish. Once you have made and pressed your wet sheets of paper, you will form them around a simple mold and decorate with watercolors. You can choose to create a bluefish, mackerel, sea robin or a fantasy fish from your imagination. Please come prepared to get wet, bring a cookie sheet to take home your creation and be ready to have fun exploring paper pulp, color, shape, and form.
Sheryl Jaffee has been exhibiting her artwork throughout New York and New England for over 30 years. She works with organic materials, handmade paper from local and exotic plant fibers and found objects to create 2 and 3-dimensional works. Jaffe studied traditional hand papermaking in Japan and China and has taught paper making at home and abroad with students aged 4-84. Jaffe was a resident artist at The Barn, Edward Albee Foundation and at Yellowstone National Park, where she explored fibers found in those unique locations. She now volunteers in the community with the ArtPeace Makers and with Delilah’s Healing and Educational Collective in bringing Wampanoag culture and education to the Outer Cape.
