A guided introduction to the traditional practice of wet mounting, exploring paper, paste, pressure, and patience through a slower material process.
This hands-on workshop introduces the traditional process of wet mounting used within East Asian scroll and paper mounting practices.
Working with handmade papers, paste, moisture, and brush techniques, participants are guided through the careful rhythm of preparing, mounting, and handling delicate materials.
Alongside practical demonstrations, the session includes insight into the historical and cultural origins of wet mounting traditions, with references to Japanese and Chinese studio practices and terminology.
This is not a fast craft workshop, but an invitation into attentiveness, material sensitivity, and the quieter disciplines of studio practice.
Participants often leave with a deeper appreciation for process, material behaviour, and the meditative qualities of repetitive hand work.
There is no expectation for prior experience or perfection in outcome.
