MCCC Presents The Guild of Papermakers

The Guild of Papermakers
will share its members’ handmade paper masterworks during the art
exhibition “Paper Sojourn,” which opens Wednesday, Oct. 30, and will
continue through Friday, Dec. 13, at Montgomery County Community
College’s Fine Arts Gallery, North Hall, 16 High Street, Pottstown.


Join us for a special “Meet the Artists” reception on Sunday, Nov. 10,
1-3 p.m., when you can meet and talk to more than 35 artist/ members of
The Guild about the process of creating and using handmade paper for
artwork. Both the exhibit and the reception are free and open to the community.


Since The Guild was founded in 1991, its members use paper as a vehicle
to explore many outcomes. Some of the mediums are printmaking, mixed
media collage and sculpture. Paper is the foundation for each piece of
artwork created by the talented, versatile artists of The Guild. For

Guild member Robyn
Burckhardt serves as the curator of this unique exhibit. As a weaver and
fiber artist since 1973, Burckhardt finds that papermaking fills the
textural qualities she seeks in all her work. Paper, she says, is used
to emulate other materials--a mimicry of sorts.
