Tunde Toth Papermaking Workshops




13th June (Saturday) 10.30am – 5.30pm
HAND PAPERMAKING Techniques I.

This is a one-day workshop on hand papermaking techniques, using natural fibres of cotton, bamboo, abaca and esparto grass combined with recycled material. Participants will be introduced to basic, traditional and contemporary techniques of hand paper making. Incorporating dried flowers, herbs and other plant material into layers of wet pulp, they will create several different papers, textured pieces and unique images. Due to the naturally slow drying process handmade papers will need to be transported while wet and dried at home.

This course is suitable for beginners or participants with some experience in Hand Papermaking.

Fee: € 80 – including all art materials (full time students: € 70)
