Event Details

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2ND 11:00AM - 3:00PM

>>Concurrent with the Annual Gowanus Artist Studio Tour (AGAST)!!<<

Papermaker Akemi Martin shares some D.I.Y. ingenuity to turn that old pair of jeans into beautiful sheets of cotton rag paper.  You'll learn advanced techniques to make watermarks and work with bright pigments while using old cotton clothing to make your own recycled paper.  

 

We'll tour our neighbor Pace Paper's impressive studio where paper works are fabricated by Chuck Close, Donald Baechler, Jim Dine and many other well known contemporary artists.  This isn't your kitchen-made construction-paper-and-blender papermaking, this is a chance to see how the pros do it.  You will most likely get wet slinging paper pulp on the Gowanus sidewalk, so wear something you can get messy in!  You'll come away with beautiful, quality paper, and you'll have a vat-load of fun!

 

Space is limited! Sign up today!

The Gowanus Studio Space



 

In an era when art encompasses infinite amalgams of visual media, The Gowanus Studio Space encourages inter-disciplinary exchange and provides affordable access to facilities for artists and designers.  Offering exhibition, curation and production opportunities, the studio is an incubator for new ideas and an inroad to today's insular art world.  


The GSS' 40+ members rent low-cost studios and storage and have 24-hour access to a woodshop, print studio and large common workspace.  GSS was established with little funding in industrial Gowanus in 2007, and is now in the final stage of an ambitious move to a new 7500 sq-ft home.
