Los Leñateros Studio
|
Los Leñateros has been operating as a papermaking, printmaking, and artist books cooperative studio and store for over 25 years. The books feature original art, stories, and poetry. |
|
|
|
La Jícara (The Gourd) is a literary codex that the cooperative produces as a series. |
|
|
|
To produce the paper, natural plant fibers are cooked and rinsed, then blended with recycled paper. |
||
|
 |
|
|
The paper pulp is then cast in molds or pressed onto metal sheets and dried in the sun. |
|
|
 |
|
The handmade paper is transformed into colorful posters, cards, and books with silk screens and relief-blocks. |
|
|
 |
| The cooperative also provides classes in papermaking,
natural dyes, book arts, and screen and relief printing. For more information, please
