Discover the art of papermaking and create unique handmade papers in this hands-on workshop with paper artist Shobhna Patel.
Papermaking is a centuries old art form, where wet pulp is transformed into delicate paper sheets.
With Shobhna’s expert guidance, you'll learn key techniques of the papermaking process including selecting and recycling paper and card, making pulp, adding colour and texture using natural materials, draining and drying your handmade papers. No previous experience required.
At the end of the workshop, you will have created beautiful handmade papers to take home to continue drying, and you will have learned the practical skills to continue your papermaking journey!
Materials, equipment and refreshments will be provided. Please bring an apron / overalls / old shirt with you to protect your clothing.
