May/June 2023 The Magic of Kozo Paper

Kozo paper from Japan is one of the most flexible and exciting papers available to calligraphers. We will be working with rich colors and a special resist technique to create two-sided sheets that can be used for many purposes. Kozo is tough but thin, so the sheets you produce can be collaged onto just about anything. Your sheets, even the failed experiments, can be used for book pages, bookbinding, Japanese-style hangings and much more. Kozo opens a world of colorful possibilities.
