Class description
Sustainable paper making course with a glass of sparkling wine
Experience a relaxing and creative break in our sustainable paper making course. Over a glass of sparkling wine, you'll dive into the art of making paper and learn how to make beautiful, individual papers from recycled materials.
In our course, we place particular emphasis on sustainability. We only use environmentally friendly materials and show you how to process old papers, cardboard and vegetable fibers into new, high-quality papers. Under professional guidance, you will design unique papers with colorful accents and integrated floral decoration.
The course starts with an introduction to the history and technique of making paper. We then prepare, shred and soak the materials together before spreading them onto the ladle frame. During the drying phase, you have time to individually decorate your works.
The option of designing paper with incorporated flowers and coloured elements is particularly appealing, making each piece a small work of art.
At the end of the workshop, you will not only take home your own paper creations, but also the knowledge of how to continue this sustainable technology independently.
Enjoy a creative and relaxing afternoon and let your imagination run wild!
