Paper Making

​Join us next Sunday on May 25 for an artsy, therapeutic journey of paper making.

​In this workshop, we’ll walk through the full paper-making process, from breaking down soaked materials like recycled paper from Parsons’ Design Lab and home studios, to forming, pressing, and decorating each sheet. To create your unique handmade paper, add in collected leaves, flowers, cotton, yarn, and other organic materials, and tint it naturally using coffee, tea, or juice.

​Together, we’ll explore how to translate abstract feelings, personalities, and attitudes into tangible forms, using color, pattern, texture, shape, and more as our language.

​Let intuition and imagination flow during the 2 hours of hands-on creation — touch the materials, make connections with them, arrange them in the way you see them as… More important than anything, feel it!

​— What to do with the paper? 🔖📃🏷️📜🎐 Turn your handmade paper into bookmarks, postcards, and letter paper that carry a piece of you. Make yourself a heartfelt gift or for someone you love for the upcoming summertime.

​*Handmade paper takes a day to dry. We will take good care of them, package with love and send them your way.
