Paper Making with Natural Fibers - Mar 28 & 29, 2026

Explore the infinite possibilities of embedding, coloring, and lamination in this hands-on introduction to the basic techniques of western paper making! Students will engage in paper making practices as they learn how to form sheets with moulds and deckles, pulp painting/pouring, and embedding materials such as flower petals, leaves, and fibers.

Over the course of two days (11-3 on first day, 11-2 on second day), students will work with various plant fibers suitable for paper making, including cotton, hemp, and abaca as well as recycled materials. The workshop will include discussion, instructor demonstrations, and in-class guided student work.

This class is suitable for students at any skill level; instruction will be tailored to meet the needs of each student. All materials provided. No paper making experience required.
