Papermaking

This is a fun hands-on workshop where people can learn how to make their own textured rustic paper by recycling everyday paper and boiling common plant fibre. In this workshop people would typically experience hands on paper making and learn about the process, as well as being able to experiment with premade paper. We can use the paper as covers for handmade books and combine this workshop with using and making botanical dyes and inks, for hand dyeing paper and creating images, the options are endless! This can also be combined with wellbeing activities and discussing environmental issues. It is currently provided as bespoke workshop for organisations and community groups.

Each workshop was run by myself and a Welsh speaking artist, we gave space for Welsh speakers to participate through the medium of Welsh, and space for Welsh learners to practice, we created a glossary of Welsh/English words which related to the workshop and nature.
