Turn recycled paper into beautiful, handmade paper you can write on, draw on, or gift to someone special.
This eco-friendly, virtual workshop covers accessible papermaking techniques using tools you already have at home. Learn how to repurpose everyday paper waste–from junk mail to handwritten notes–into fresh, usable sheets. Work with basic tools and set up your own at-home papermaking space. Gain an introduction to sustainability and circular craft practices.
This workshop is designed for participants to work alongside the instructor from home. Set up and prep instructions can be found on the materials list. Participants are also welcome to set up and make paper after the workshop, if it feels best to focus on instruction only during the workshop.
Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
Certificate: 3 hours, Category A or D
