I have been familiar with the work of Helen Hiebert for years through her books. In 2009 I took a workshop with her at the Friends of Dard Hunter Conference in Atlanta. She is a great teacher and when I heard she was coming to the area for a project in western Ma I invited her to teach a workshop in the paper studio. I highly recommend checking out her website and joining us for this class.

Handmade paper is a wonderful and light material for use in creating low-relief and three-dimensional objects. By using embedded wire, string, and reed between sheets of high shrinkage abaca the paper has a structural form for building. After creating the embedded paper the first day, students will return to the studio on day two to find the paper magically transformed and will learn ways to further manipulate the dry sheets into forms ranging from lamps and lanterns to low-relief and three-dimensional sculptural objects. We will experiment with glue, thread, wire and other fasteners to create unique objects.
