Papermaking Workshop
with sheila mcmullin – April 16th, 2022
This hands-on papermaking workshop was held on April 16th 2022 in partnership with Green Wisdom’s Festival. The workshop introduced crafters to the DIY world of papermaking without the expensive and inaccessible facilities that prohibit crafters from the process. Using locally scavenged materials, recycled papers, herbs, and seeds, crafters made their own paper to take home and be used for writing, drawing, painting, letterpress, or as greeting cards and wedding invitations. In a collaborative makerspace, Sheila lead crafters through the papermaking process and offer techniques and strategies for DIY papermaking at home. The emphasis was on creative problem solving and use of reusable materials to reduce landfill waste. {Photo image: Lindsey Segundo}
