Paper is one of the most ordinary materials in our everyday lives, yet it contains stories, histories, and memories. In many parts of Latin America, paper has long functioned as a material for celebration, storytelling, ritual, and visual expression. In this introductory workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of handmade papermaking using traditional mold-and-deckle techniques while transforming recycled paper into beautiful new sheets. 

Through layering, color, texture, and collage, we will explore how discarded materials can become unique surfaces for future drawing, painting, or sculpture. Rather than thinking of paper as simply a support, we will approach it as an artistic medium in its own right.
