Several types of paper will be provided for use throughout the workshop. Participants are also encouraged to bring a small amount of paper that holds personal meaning—a letter, photocopy, drawing, receipt, book page, or handwritten note. These materials can be pulped and transformed, becoming part of the creative process. Through this act of transformation, paper becomes more than a medium; it becomes a vessel for memory, trace, and personal history.

MEET THE ARTIST

Kathryn Cameron and Cindy Parker
Kathryn Cameron is a New York–based artist whose work explores the fragility of mind, body, and spirit through the symbolic language of shapes, forms, and color. Working with natural and repurposed materials such as paper, leather, wood, steel, and pure pigments, she investigates the profound interconnections between humanity and nature. Her practice is rooted in the colors, forms, textures, and rhythms found in both natural environments and architectural traditions across cultures, while also drawing upon the universal principles of sacred geometry as a unifying thread.
Cameron is a founding member of the New York School of the Arts and the HUB Center for the Arts, where she serves as exhibition curator, program director, and faculty member. Beyond her teaching in New York, she leads workshops and courses internationally, fostering cross-cultural exchange and material exploration. Most recently, she returned from artist residencies in Morocco and France, where she developed new bodies of work and presented two exhibitions of her latest sculptures and installations in the south of France.
Cindy Parker lived a wondrous, expatriate childhood and adolescence in Paris, and has always been a nomad. Language, seeing, cultural exploration and acceptance, thirst for discovery and the desire to write, learn, make and record things and celebrate is her art de vivre.
She teach expressive art and poetry and short story discussions for all ages and abilities in Boulder and Denver. She gives interactive art talks based on her travels and study of art theory and history. She's led women’s art retreats in France, Italy, Costa Rica and New Mexico.
