🌿 About this workshop

Discover the joy of creating your own handmade paper in this relaxed, beginner‑friendly 2‑hour session. Perfect for anyone curious about craft, sustainability, or simply trying something new, this workshop guides you through the full process — from pulp to finished sheet — in a calm, supportive studio environment.

No experience needed. You’ll learn step‑by‑step, at your own pace, in a welcoming session for one person, or 2 friends, designed to help you feel confident, creative, and inspired. The cost is for the session, not per person.

✨ What you’ll learn

Preparing your pulp — Explore fibres, textures, and natural inclusions.

Pulling your first sheet — Learn how to use a mould and deckle to form beautiful handmade paper.
