Workshop / Class Community
fibrelab@taprootfarms.ca
902-542-3277
This is a 2 day workshop.
Starting with a thorough discussion of the many qualities handmade papers can carry, students will consider how different fibers and processing decisions influence the physical properties of the final sheet. With a special focus on processing TapRoot flax and linen fibers for papermaking. Participants will experience processing the fiber in a portable Hollander beater, practice sheet forming and be introduced to several decorative techniques. In two days we will try and pack as much in as possible with the goal of sending participants away with the information necessary to create pop-up guerilla papermaking in their own classrooms, backyards, and studios!
