Papermaking Workshop: Thursday 12th June 6.00pm - 8.00pm
Learn how to create your own handmade papers using natural materials and time honoured techniques.
During the workshop you will:
- Learn the basics of sheet forming from the pulp vat using a ‘Deckle and Mould’
- Have opportunity to experiment with texture and colour variegation.
- Create your your own stack of beautiful A5, plant fibre, deckled edge papers (note - after the workshop your sheets will need a few days to dry and flatten. You can either collect your sheets in person during the following week or have them posted to you).
Hand paper making is a wonderfully tactile and sensory process with many creative possibilities. It can be combined with many creative mediums and practices from print-making to painting to bookbinding and more!
