PAPER FROM PLANTS INTENSIVE
SATURDAY + SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 + 11 | 1-4PM In this 2 day weekend workshop we’ll focus on responsible harvesting, processing, and crafting plants into paper. You’ll learn what local plant fibers are best for making paper, we'll take a plant walk around our yard identifying plants that are ready for harvest, and then learn what tools and equipment are needed for different fibers. Your papers could be used for collages, books, drawings, prints, cards, or just to hang up and enjoy. A spirit of community making will be encouraged as we collectively gather, process and create papers together. Once dry, papers will be mailed to students. Cancelled due to extreme weather. |
