What will you learn?

In this class, participants will learn how to make thread from paper. This traditional technique is specific to the Japanese paper tradition. I learned it from papermaker Asao Shimura years ago in the Philippines. A master papermaker, he wove fine shifu threads into garments! These threads are made from kozo papers, but can also be made using hanji. Long fibers in these papers make them suitable for converting into thread.
This magical transformation takes some time and some elbow grease. This class will cover all the steps from beginning to end, but will not cover spinning or weaving.

What is the duration of the class?
The class will be held on Saturday & Sunday,  30 minutes on Saturday, and 1 hour on Sunday. 1.5 hours total. Class will start at 4 pm Sweden time (CEST), on both days October 17 & 18, 2020.
