Papermaking in the Field
This workshop is geared toward sustainability through the use of a renewable fuel source and organic or wildcrafted fiber sources. We will make paper from garlic leaf, sisal, hay, wheat straw, and other plants. Topics will include material selection and gathering (dry versus freshly-cut fiber). Cooking discussions will include precook, caustics, water concerns, and rinsing. We will also cover beating options, pigmenting, sheet forming, and drying. Multiple natural dye sources will be used to dye pulp. This physically active workshop will include harvesting plants by hand and cooking fiber over a wood fire. Together we will learn how to make our creative adventures more sustainable. All levels.
