Paper Making




saturday January 20, 2024 at 2-4 pm
the textile museum of canada

Drawing from the artist’s chosen collection’s piece – Bark Cloth: Venezuela and their own exploration of materials and plant life as a result. This workshop will explore paper making as a parallel to the process of making traditional bark cloth. Each participant will learn the history and processes of making paper, design their own functional or art paper, and take home several pieces with them. This workshop will provide ready-made paper for participants to familiarize themselves with the material before making their own recycled offcuts, plant matter, and color.
