Intro to Papermaking with Plants
While harvesting and working with plants, participants often find themselves in a state characterized by a soft somatic awareness, a sense of timelessness, an active imagination, and a curious open heartedness. This form of wild tending is restorative and supportive in a reciprocal relationship with our surroundings.
In this class, participants will learn how to use plants from the landscape to make paper. You will have ample opportunity to make at least five sheets of handmade paper. The process will be thoroughly explained allowing you to continue to make paper from the plants you have in your own garden and surrounding area. A garden walk will be included to introduce you to several sustainable possibilities.
Reconnect with your wild side! Together, we can build a beautiful partnership with nature, discovering fresh ways to weave our personal stories together with the natural world.
