Hand-beaten Bark Paper & Natural Dyes with Lisa Miles
Thursday, June 12 · 6:30–7:30 PM EST

Deepening her connection with the natural world, papermaker and book artist Lisa Miles creates hand-beaten bark paperworks using bast fibers and natural dyes. Her process transforms raw materials into undulating, abstract landscapes where image and paper merge seamlessly. Each piece is crafted by "drawing" with plant-dyed fibers on a wood board, a process done upside down and backwards, then hand-beaten with a volcanic stone. The final image only reveals itself after the sheet dries. Striving to localize her practice further, she has been cultivating a fiber and dye garden at her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is working towards embedding the spirit of place into each piece, while making offerings to desert pollinators and honoring the slow, meditative journey from seed to sheet.
