Each participant will be presented with a set of different paper samples and will study the papers first hand, examine the fibers, sheet formation, alkali content and the results of different manufacturing processes and drying methods.
In a practical session, participants will make small-sized paper samples using simple tools with paper mulberry fibers and formation aid. Each participant will make a drying board, the modern equivalent of karibari, using a honeycomb panel and mulberry paper.
Participants will study and share various methods of repair and lining techniques appropriate for specific objects, using different papers, depending on their opaqueness, texture, and strength. For example, participants will try double-sided lining with thin mulberry tissue, drying a lined object on a drying board, and making pre-coated tissue with different adhesives. Useful tips in toning techniques with acrylic paints for mulberry paper will be discussed.
