WORKSHOPS
Introduction to Papermaking with Plants
Spend a fun afternoon learning about the exciting process of making paper.
Members of Papermakers & Artists Qld will show you how to transform your garden waste and paper discards into beautiful sheets of paper, with plenty of hands-on time to practice the finer skills of 'couching' sheets of paper.
You don't need any paper-making experience but keep in mind that papermaking is quite a physical activity and you’ll need to be able to stand during the workshop.

Date: TBA
Time: 1.30 - 4pm
