Session 1: Papermaking
Friday, Dec. 19 | 7:30-9:30pm
We’ll begin our journey by making handmade paper infused with plants known for their symbolic and magical properties, including sage, basil, chamomile, and lavender. With guidance from local artist and experienced instructor Sydney Nalley, you’ll learn the art of papermaking, focusing on mindful creation and setting your intentions for the solstice season. Sydney will also give a demonstration on using natural dyes to create colored papers.
