The Aremu association and Gruppo Cubiarte present to you a fascinating journey in learning how to make paper. In the itinerary we have put together the ancient Washi technique (oriental paper from the Han dynasty, 200 d.c.), with the medieval fabrianesi techniques (XIII century) we will also create paper from natural fibers extracted from Mediterranean plants.
N.B. This workshop will start with a minimum of 2 participants, it is recommended to send request before booking to check if the course will be activated.
The course will be divided as follows:
1. Selection and picking of the natural fibers (common fig plant)
2. Skinning phloem
3. Beating and washing the cellulose paste
4. Creating the paper in a basin
5. Sieving and calendering
6. Distillation of the garriga vapors to perfume our sheets of paper
7. Coloring techniques with natural pigments: ficus carica leaves
We have two double rooms and agreements with some accommodations for lodging (info cubiarte@gmail.com) We offer all participants an evening aperitif with local gastronomic excellence and for those staying in our facility also a healthy breakfast.
The workshop does not require advanced manual experience; work clothing is required; all perishable materials are provided by Cubiarte APS.

YOUR SPECIAL MOSAIC
Matteo, mosaic maker
What better than your name can identify you? Decorate with a mosaic the initial of your name or of the person you want to give it to. Imagine the letter of your name with a mosaic part in it. You can use it to furnish an old dresser, a shelf, or any other place to bring your personality. In fact in this workshop you can decide the decoration and the color of the tiles. These will be used to fill up with a mosaic the etched space in the wooden letter. Later I'll show you how the marbles, stone-paste and gold leaf tiles are cut. We'll see how to lay the glue down and how to position the tiles to create the decoration of your personal letter. Of course, once the object will be finished, you can bring it back home with you. The only things I ask you is to tell me the chosen letter, so that you can find it ready to be decorated. Moreover you can choose between the blue or dove-grey color to paint the letter yourself. The workshop will last about 2/2.5 hours.
