Sculptural Paper Casting with Leah Aegerter Fall 2025

In this foundational paper-making workshop, students transform pulp into unique cast-paper sculptures. Starting with dry abaca pulp, we dive into the process of reconstituting, blending, dyeing and casting sheets with a traditional mold and deckle. Abaca paper is characterized by long fibers with impressive wet strength, making it ideal for manipulation. Students mold wet sheets onto objects at home, around the studio, or in the environment. This method of papermaking and casting demonstrates a DIY way of adapting the traditional craft to a personal studio setting.
