About this Course

Discover the art of transforming simple materials into beautiful, handmade paper in this four-week course for adults. Participants will learn the step-by-step process of traditional papermaking, from pulping and forming sheets to pressing, drying, and finishing. Each week introduces new techniques, including adding texture, colour, and inclusions such as dried flowers or threads. By the end of the course, students will create a collection of unique papers that can be used for drawing, printmaking, book arts, or personal projects. No previous experience is required—just a willingness to get a little messy and creative! Some materials provided. Artist/Instructor: Sydney Hanson
