Papermaking with Plants Workshop :: June 28, 2026 :: 10-4pm
The plants are calling!
Do you feel called to work with plants in a creative hands-on way? Would you like to make your own drawing paper or journal with plant fibers that grow in your garden or along roadsides in your neighborhood? If you want to learn the ins and outs of transforming plants into paper, this workshop is for you.
This is a hands-on, elbow deep adventure intended to get you thinking about how you can incorporate locally abundant resources into your creative practice. You will build the foundation of your making paper practice working with raw plant material, learning about the tools and equipment needed to potential plant allies for artistic endeavors.
You'll be cutting, cooking, and rinsing fibers. You will see how the hollander beater turns these fibers into pulp and most exciting, you will pull a stack of your own paper to take home.
