Papermaking and Book Art

In this intensive studio class, students manufactured paper and books by hand. Students scraped bark off of a paper mulberry tree, refined the plant material into paper, and then decorated it using a variety of global techniques. In the photo, College second-year Lanie Cheatham performs marbling technique with a glass dropper of blue paint. This project was instructed by artist Aimee Lee, OC ’99, with help from Special Collections and Preservation Librarian Ed Vermue.
