We continue our workshop programme with a number of courses on various Hand Papermaking Techniques coming up in May and June – a great way to start Summer time! There are workshops for beginners and for those who have previous experience in the unusual and fascinating art form of hand paper making and paper art.
There is more to come, we have a number of workshops to follow in August, September and October and we have organized a programme of SUMMER ART CAMPS for children at the St. Mary's National School in Thomastown for the month of July.

HAND PAPERMAKING Techniques I.
This is a one-day workshop on hand papermaking techniques, using natural fibres of cotton, bamboo, abaca and esparto grass combined with recycled material. Participants will be introduced to basic, traditional and contemporary techniques of hand paper making. Incorporating dried flowers, herbs and other plant material into layers of wet pulp, they will create several different papers, textured pieces and unique images. Due to the naturally slow drying process handmade papers will need to be transported while wet and dried at home.
This course is suitable for beginners or participants with some experience in Hand Papermaking.

Fee: € 80 – including all art materials (full time students: € 70)
