In this workshop we run through the basics of paper making from both recycling paper right through to making paper entirely from foraged plants.

We will show you how to use plant material and flowers when preparing pulp, as dyes and as decorative features. A variety of pulps will be prepared for you to get making straight away, giving you a good practical understanding of how to make paper.

We have a variety of different sized screens for you to use, and you will go home with a good selection of your own handcrafted papers.

Making paper is a beautiful craft and can be used to memorialise important occasions by using dried flowers to frame poetry and word art, to make cards and notebook covers, or to simply frame plants and flowers special to you.

All equipment we use can be easily found/made or bought for paper making at home. We design this workshop so you can take this craft forward, or as a stand alone with beautiful pieces for you to take home and frame or use.

Every workshop at The Old Mill begins with a hot drink of your choice including specialist coffees, and home baked biscuits. We hope that our workshops are a real treat for yourself or a loved one, as well as a rich learning experience.
