University of the West of England, Bristol, UK
Pulp-printing Masterclass
Monday 7th Friday - 11th September 2009
As part of the run up to Impact, a 5-day CPD Masterclass in pulp printing with Tim Mosely of Silverwattle Press, Australia ran at UWE, Bristol, School of Creative Arts.
With over 25 years of professional experience Tim maintains a lucid perspective on the book as a potent element within the vocabularies of visual language. This focus has generated artists’ books that engage with semiotics within the relationship between image and text. With an output of over 50 unique and editioned artists’ books Tim is represented in many prominent Australian and international artists book collections.
Tim is an expert in the art of papermaking with manmade or natural fibres, from transparent to sculptural papers, and is well known for his particular specialism of pulp printing, where images and text are printed as pulp, straight into damp paper, which dries as a seamlessly combined sheet.
For this Masterclass, Tim took attendees through the process of pulp-printing, to create their own sheets of pulp printed text and images. Through the class, Tim intended papermakers to learn the process for use in their own papermaking studios, he wants an army of pulp-printers around the world to keep pulp printing!
Many thanks to all the attendees and special thanks to Tim for running such a fantastic class!
