NOTE FROM SHEILA: This is a workshop we have been talking about for over a year - now it is finally happening. The words "Suminagashi" & "Orizomegami" have been mentioned many times since we've become friends and now I too will find out exactly what they mean. Victoria is a fantastic teacher who demonstrates a range of techniques in a sequential way to allow participants to build a stunning portfolio of quite amazing papers.
Patterned papers can be enormous fun to make and this course explores two
methods which even the complete beginner can easily use to make a quantity
of beautiful papers. The two-day course would be ideal for anyone passionate
about paper & who may like to use their creations for cardmaking,
bookbinding or other crafts, & may also be of interest to textile artists.
The tutor will supply all materials & also bring handling examples & ample
resource material for reference.
‘Suminagashi’ produces gentle, flowing, subtle patterns created by floating
ink on water before transferring to paper. Considered by many to be the
earliest form of marbling, this method has been used to decorate paper for
calligraphy since the twelfth century. You will learn to grind ink from a
solid ink stone (feel free to bring your own if you have one) & achieve
'balance' in the spreading of the ink on water. It is a very specific form
of marbling & a day's study of this method provides a very good grounding
for further, more complex marbling methods.
Some of Victoria's examples of this technique are shown right.
In complete contrast, another oriental technique ‘Orizomegami’ requires
direct handling of the paper to achieve a pleat-dyed effect. We will spend
the second day exploring formal and irregular folding techniques using fine
papers including handmade tissue. Strong designs and rich colours can give
the papers an almost ‘stained glass’ appearance. An exciting, absorbing &
colourful way to conclude this course.
Some of Victoria's examples of this technique are shown left.
Victoria Hall began making decorated papers professionally in the late 1980's, having attained a degree in the History of Art & Architecture at the University of East Anglia. An acknowledged expert in replicating historic marbled papers used for restoration work she also loves creating unique richly coloured paste papers made by creating patterns in a layer of coloured starch paste applied to a sheet of paper. Both techniques can be attempted by novices to this craft and in her classes at The Studio@ Burlingham Hall, Victoria will demonstrate her work with samples and help participants to experience a variety of techniques and produce a varied portfolio of papers which can then be used in restoration work or other creative projects.
Victoria is a self-taught marbler who has had her own Norwich based business producing traditional papers since 1989. She produces a range of techniques and styles for antiquarian and contemporary applications, supplying clients and collectors worldwide. She has taught at West Dean College in West Sussex since 1995, done numerous workshops for the Society of Bookbinders, and led a series of public events at the John Rylands Library, Manchester.
