Louise is delighted to present the technique of” ply paper.” The name refers to the layering process used to make plywood when a number of layers of veneer sheets of wood are layered and glued with the grain of the wood in alternating directions in each adjacent layer. This creates a thin yet strong wooden sheet.
The ply paper technique allows a mix of substrates; paper, threads, fabrics, paints, varnishes and mark-making which can all coalesce to provide differing attributes to affect the work. The result is beguilingly complex and yet has a wonderfully simple process. ENJOY X
The “ply paper” process incorporates the layering to create strength with the addition of elements to add interest and texture.
In this video, Louise will show how she utilises the ply paper technique that she has developed from work inspired by the process and idea of Momigami and Joomchi.
There will be a series of videos that progress in steps through the wonderful possibilities allowed by this intriguing technique. For more of Louise's work please see:-
