Experience one of the oldest art forms - paper making!
This is a sustainable art project where we recycle materials to create artists customize paper with spring flowers.
The paper pulp has been carefully prepared by your instructor with selected recycled materials as this process takes several hours and procedures.
You will have the opportunity to customize your paper with variety of textures and colors.
You will be able to select a mold to apply the paper pulp and deckle, then move the paper to sheets of fabric to dry. This is the fun part where you can imbed special pieces of paper, flowers, plants, etc. into paper!
At the end of the workshop, the paper will be stacked on a flat surface before you take it home to allow the paper to finish drying.
