Papermaking Workshop: Exploring Papermaking with Inclusions and Embedded Material
In this class, you will learn the basics of European/Western style hand papermaking, with a focus on exploring the decorative elements of inclusions in paper pulp. Inclusions can be anything ranging from flower petals, to bits of string, to scraps of other paper or fabrics — the possibilities are endless. Objects may also be embedded between two sheets of freshly formed paper.
You will learn to work with flax, abaca, and recycled cotton fibers to form decorative sheets of paper in a variety of sizes and weights. We will provide some material for inclusions, and we encourage you to bring your own materials that spark your imagination! *Please note that we have a No Glitter policy.
The paper you make is yours to keep! Due to drying time, papers will be ready to take home at a later date.
All skill levels welcome.
Attendees should be prepared to get a little messy. We will provide waterproof aprons, and we advise you to bring crocs or other waterproof shoes, as well as clothing you don’t mind getting damp and pulpy.
We aim for workshops to be both accessible for beginners and engaging for those with some experience in papermaking who wish to grow their skills. Class size is currently limited to 8 students per session. Our workshops are designed for all people aged young-adult and up.
