The lessons are based on the concept that handmade paper techniques are not only used to produce sheets of paper but also constitute a genuine artistic language, making this discipline a stand-alone discipline. The theoretical component provides artists with the cognitive tools they need to work independently and achieve the desired results. The refining of the pulp, the use of various types of fibres, creative techniques and the application of colours are the key topics covered in the lectures.
