Carls in New York are invited to an exclusive tour of Dieu Donné, an acclaimed non-profit hand papermaking studio located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Led by artist John Shorb '00, former Executive Director and now Strategic Advisor, the studio tour will highlight the techniques of the hand papermaking process. John will perform a demonstration, and participants will have the opportunity to view sublime works of handmade paper by leading artists including Do Ho Suh, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Mark Bradford, Diana Al-Hadid, Howardena Pindell, and Paul Anthony Smith.
Now celebrating 50 years, Dieu Donné works with both established and emerging artists to create two-dimensional and sculptural works in handmade paper. They also offer a variety of in-depth workshops and a robust schedule of exhibitions. Learn more about the organization at http://www.dieudonne.org.
