Come get your hands a little messy and learn how to make paper from things you probably already have lying around. In this workshop, we’ll use stuff like junk mail, scrap paper, and even plants to create our own handmade sheets from scratch. You’ll go through the whole process, tearing, blending, pulping, and pulling your own paper.There’s room to play with texture and add bits like leaves or fibers if you want to experiment a little. It’s low-pressure, a little chaotic, and pretty satisfying.
No experience needed, just show up ready to try something new. And definitely bring an apron… it’s gonna get pulpy.
All materials are provided!
Wear clothes you are okay with getting messy!
