Create w/Nature: making paper from natural and recycled materials

It’s a journey into paper making! I'm Lyndi Perry, proprietor of Woodsy Art Cafe and passionate local creator. Catch my my enthusiasm for a material we all take for granted and elevate your own art with custom pages you can make yourself with some simple techniques and a little practice. I'm so excited to partner with Home Range Brewing to produce this workshop!

You will receive:
