Exploring Paper with Dieu Donne

Join us for a drop-in presentation exploring the art of hand papermaking. Discover LaKela Brown’s collaborative work with Dieu Donné through material tests, cast paper leaves, debossed artworks, and fiber samples. The session also highlights Dieu Donné’s Brooklyn-based residency program, which supports artists experimenting with papermaking techniques. Drop by to see, handle, and learn about this unique process and the residency’s role in fostering innovation in contemporary papermaking. This session will be led by Katharine L. DeLamater.
