Discover the art of handmade vat paper during this one-day course in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, from 10am to 5pm. This immersive course will introduce you to traditional papermaking techniques, while offering you the chance to create unique sheets.

Tank papermaking, an ancient method, dates back to China in the 2nd century B.C. It then evolved in Europe, where the Vosges played a key role in the development of this tradition, known for its historic paper mills.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to recycle paper by transforming it into a pulp, which you’ll use to create your own sheets of paper. The process involves immersing a wooden frame in the pulp to collect a thin layer, which is then air-dried. The result is a durable paper with a unique texture.

Accessible to all, including beginners and children aged 6 and over, this workshop is led by a professional craftswoman. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the production process, exploring advanced techniques such as adding mineral pigments, layering pulp and embossing. So go ahead and book this workshop!

About

Turbochat! - Clémentine Eschenbrenner

I'm a versatile artist and craftswoman born in 1987 in Saint-Dié, Vosges, where I still live with my elderly cats, wool sweaters, hatred of capitalism and piles of books threatening to collapse. My first passion is bookbinding, which I've been self-taught since 2009, with the philosophy that anything can become a book, and anyone can make a book.

I'm also a draughtsman, author, painter, linocutter, embroiderer, papermaker and micro-publisher of small magazines and artist's books. On this platform, I offer courses for all ages and levels, in my own workshop in Saint Dié and other locations.

I'm passionate about natural materials such as cotton, wool, linen and silk. I'm fascinated by traditional textile arts, especially those from the East, ancient motifs, bright colors and handmade paper. I love paper in all its forms, and each technique is a way for me to explore and express the richness and diversity of this incredible material.
My aim is to capture a beauty that, while not spiritual, is sacred in my own way.

In my daily life, I am politically committed to social justice, equality, feminism and popular education. I believe that art should be a common good and a tool for social transformation, not a privilege reserved for the few.
