Summary

In a world where our minds are oversaturated by cycles of violence, environmental instability, racism, classism, and uncertainty, artist Alicia Piller invites participants to dream BIG. Rooted in her interdisciplinary practice of mixed media, adornment, ritual wrapping, and material transformation, this workshop encourages participants to preserve their dreams for the future through the use of recycled paper and found materials.

Participants will write dreams, desires, wishes, memories, mantras, or affirmations onto recycled materials and transform them into sculptural beads that can be worn, carried, or shared. The act of rolling and wrapping becomes both meditative and symbolic: transforming discarded materials into vessels for hope, healing, and future imagining.

Participants are encouraged to bring optional “memory materials” such as old letters, newspapers, maps, receipts, photocopies, book pages, or fabric scraps that hold personal or historical significance. These materials can be embedded directly into the bead-making process, creating wearable archives of memory and reflection.

As part of the workshop, each participant will contribute one bead to a communal strand or collective sculpture. This shared artwork becomes a collaborative archive of dreams, intentions, and future visions generated by the group, emphasizing connection, collective care, and community building through artmaking.

Entering this workshop with any level of expertise, participants are encouraged to create anything from intimate objects to maximalist wearable forms.

Summary

In this introductory workshop, participants will learn the basic process of making handmade paper using prepared plant-based pulp. The workshop will introduce the steps of sheet formation, couching, pressing, and drying, while giving participants time to experiment with texture, fiber, and surface.

This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for people with little or no prior paper-making experience. Participants will learn how paper can function as both a practical material and an artistic medium, and will leave with a basic understanding of the process along with handmade paper sheets they create during the workshop.
