Family Papermaking Workshop
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Nordic countries are known for their beautiful paper crafts, including handmade paper. They’re also known for sustainability and recycling. In this workshop, you will do both by learning how to make your own paper out of scraps. Using just scrap paper, water, a blender, and a paper mold, you’ll make your unique creations to use as cards, notes, craft and scrapbooking paper, or give as gifts. Add Nordic touches with Nordic language magazines and newspapers, pressed flowers, and stencils of Nordic designs.
In this workshop, you’ll make paper pulp from scrap paper, learn how to blend it and filter it into screen molds, dry it, and decorate it. Interesting collage and natural materials will be on hand to experiment with adding to your paper mixtures. Enough materials will be provided to make eight letter-size pieces of unique handcrafted paper. Stencils, gift ribbons, and other add-ons will be provided for optional decoration.
This is a multi-generational workshop. An adult guardian is required for children under the age of 18. Adult guardians do not have to purchase a ticket if they only plan to assist children in the craft. To cover costs, if an adult plans to make their separate craft, they are required to purchase a ticket.
