Plants into Paper – Japanese Plant Fiber Papermaking Workshop
August 27, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
$93.00
In collaboration with Sweet Peas Urban Gardens:
Join us and an incredible urban farm that is making a big difference! This weekend you’ll be learning how to create beautiful handmade paper from plant fibers.
Sarah Ann Austin is a fibers artist with some very unique skill sets. She can turn sunlight into images, sew gorgeous creations, and even up-cycle old wrapping paper into new and beautiful holiday cards. For this workshop, Sarah will teach you how to make your own handmade paper simply out of garden plants and other traditional fibers.
All participants will get to have a hand in the paper-making process, from reducing plants down to their basic fibers all the way to pulling their completed sheets using traditional Japanese paper-making techniques and tools. They will also learn a basic knowledge of the chemistry and science behind sheet formation as well as some history of handmade paper making techniques passed down over generations. Definitely don’t miss this one of a kind workshop!
