Papermaking at Carriage House: Paper in 3 Dimensions |
 |
| Here are two of the forms we learned to make in the workshop -- using wire mesh screening sewn together to make a form (a mug), and on the right, creating a form by soldering pieces of galvanized wire together (a lampshade). |
 |
| This form was made by wiring or tying pieces of reed together. The reeds need to be soaked first, to make them pliable; when dry, the form will be rigid. |
 |
| Others in the workshop chose to wire or tie together sticks and twigs to make forms. |
 |
| Some used a combination of materials to make the form, in this case, a stick and wire mesh. |
