Historical May 1980 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Paper, one of man’s oldest communication tools, inundates our modern society. Hand made paper, as an art medium, has experienced a revival in recent years with its appeal to artists of many disciplines.
An evening class of four sessions will be offered on Thursday evenings by Karen Stahlecker at Craft Alliance Education Center, 6640 Delmar Boulevard, University City, from 7:00-10:00, May 22, 29, June 5 and 12.
Ms. Stahlecker is currently Director of the City-wide Arts and the Elderly Program sponsored by the Downtown VIP Senior Citizens Center, Inc.
Both the workshop and the class will include basic techniques of pulp preparation, casting in three dimensions and sheet forming, dying pulps, various sizing techniques and much more.
Ms. Stahlecker’s paper pieces and sculptures have been shown widely in the U.S. and Canada and have been included in a recent publication “Paper Art and Technology.” The cost of the class is $45.00.
All equipment and materials will be supplied for both sessions although students are requested to bring a blender to class.
For more information, call Ethel Sherman at Craft Alliance Education Center, 725-1177. Space is limited and early registration is encouraged.
