"This is an opportunity for each of you to free yourself from the bonds of convention, to push the edges of your creativity, to stretch your wings and fly," promises Trenholm. "We will test the limits of our paper, our materials and our imaginations! Each day, we’ll begin with an introduction of materials and methods, including creating textured paper and applying gold leaf. Then we’ll proceed to 'hands on' experimenting and the application to each person’s own work."
