Participants will be initiated into the joys of papermaking using only recovered recycled materials that don’t cost anything, and water, along with paper making equipment and to create beautiful paper.

Materials such as discarded paper, old paper bags, brown (manilla) paper, tissue, disintegrating old books and natural materials such as feathers, dried skeletonised leaves, and disintegrating plant fibres will be combined to make deliciously textured paper, suitable for craft projects, such as collage, as a textured painting surface, papier mache forms, to add texture to hand made greeting cards, for mobiles, and for dyeing.

Come dressed for a messy (watery)/pulpy activity and be prepared to be spontaneous!
