Learn how to create your own reclaimed rag and plant fiber paper
During the workshop you will:
Learn the basics of sheet forming from the pulp vat using a ‘Deckle and Mould’
Create your your own stack of beautiful A5, plant fibre, deckled edge papers (note - after the workshop your sheets will need a few days to dry and flatten. You can either collect your sheets in person during the following week or have them posted to you).
