Description
I am excited to be offering my one day Creative Papermaking workshop at Narberth Museum. This is a beautiful venue with a purpose built workshop space and within easy walking distance of Narberth town centre, with its creative shops and cafes.T There will be plenty of opportunities to explore textural possibilities and have fun developing ideas. This workshop is for beginners or participants who have some experience of making handmade recycled paper. You will learn or refresh on how to use a Deckle and Mould and to transform old paper into new, using the pouring method. You will be shown how to expand scale to create patchwork paper; explore line to create textural paper stripes and also how to emboss textured pattern, with printing blocks. Or you can simply build confidence and experiment further with surface texture, by adding a variety of inclusions to your fresh handmade paper.
What's included in the price?
All materials will be provided. Choose amongst dried petals, seeds, leaves and threads to add to your paper to create exciting textural surfaces.
