Dieu Donne Student Session

Dieu Donné Studio Collaborator Katharine L. DeLamater will lead a lecture and discussion with local college arts and art history students in partnership with the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art. The session will explore the technical nuances of the handmade paper artworks at the Brooks, the creative possibilities of hand papermaking, and the nature of the collaborative publishing process in papermaking at Dieu Donné. Dieu Donné will bring additional didactic material from the Dieu Donné archive to illustrate a greater range of techniques and allow students to learn through hands-on exploration of objects.
