Papermaking with Plants Tutor: Jonathan Korejko
Learn how to use plant materials to make decorative, colourful
and unique papers. Well make paper using the petals, leaves,
fibres, seeds, perfumes and dyes from marigold, dahlia,
tagetes,
sunflower, lavender, clematis, and horse radish.
Making beautiful papers from plants is very satisfying and
combines many interests; plants and gardening, an appreciation for
colour and texture, and enjoyment of working with and on paper. We
will use things that grow in the tutors studio garden along with
many plants from the venue
as well as things from your own garden. You will be given plenty
of information on learning more about the subject and on how to
start your own papermaking unit at home.
