Classes at Woodwalk’s Paper Shop

Gina Mancuso and Bonnie Hartman create nature compositions at The Paper Shop.

The Paper Shop at Woodwalk Gallery is busy with students creating compositions from Door County’s abundant natural treasures – pressed and dried flowers, plants and leaves.

Kirsten Christianson conducts the paper classes, now in their fourth summer season.

“I am trying something new,” she says. “We wrap the front of little stretched canvases with a casting of handmade paper that shrinks onto the surface as it dries and it becomes a “canvas” for the composition. There are alternatives: adding colored paper pulps that are like watercolor. Also, new in the schedule are Friday Mornings at The Paper Shop, where a small group of women work together and sometimes enjoy a catered lunch from Greens N Grains. It is leisurely and fun.”
