The art of papermaking is really quite easy and something you can learn and do at home with friends and family! We will be making paper out of used paper and other materials. You’ll get all the tips and tricks to make on your own and you’ll be able to take home what you make. Feel free to bring any embellishments you’d like to add to your paper like seeds, colorful paper, threads, etc. All ages welcome (accompanied by an adult).

Each participant will take home whatever paper they make. Sometimes the paper doesn’t dry before class ends, and in that case it might need to dry overnight and be picked up at Haven + Main the next day. If you’d like to take your paper home on the day of the workshop, just be sure to bring your own fabric/pillow cases/rags/drying mats/felt pieces/any material you have so the fabric can dry on it and you can take it home without needing to return. Bring as many pieces of fabric as pieces of paper you’d like to make (some students, especially kids, like to make 10+ pieces of paper during this workshop!). You’re free to make as many pieces of paper as we have time for.

This workshop will be facilitated by Christina Threloff, owner and sewist behind My Lovely Muse. The class will be held inside Haven + Main, located at 211 Washington Ave, Grand Haven, MI 49417.

The fee for this class is $25 per person, and all materials will be provided.
