Made by working artists, not instructors

Each facilitator brings decades of deep regional insight into earth, fiber, and flame.

Lead Ceramist [TBC]

Lead Papermaker [TBC]

Lead Pigment Muller [TBC]

Specializes in locating, sieving, and wedging local Barberton clays, teaching artists how to wedge raw earth and fire without commercial kilns.

Expert in beating mulberry bark, reed, and cotton rag to pull damp sheets directly from wooden vats for traditional printmaking and drawing.

Gathers raw ochres and earth stones from the hillsides, mulling them by hand on glass slabs with natural binders into rich oil and tempera paint.

You do not buy paper here; you beat mulberry bark and pull sheets straight from the vat. Our instruction comes from the real weight of timber, stone, and ash in your hands.
