Flax Paper Workshop
The Flax Paper Workshop is a hands-on introduction to making paper from flax fibres. Designed for those who enjoy learning through practical experience, it offers the opportunity to explore the material, understand its basic properties, and take part in the process of transforming plant fibres into handmade paper. Through a simple and accessible approach, participants discover the different stages of papermaking, from preparing the fibres to forming individual sheets. The workshop also explores the qualities and creative possibilities of flax as a plant-based material, encouraging experimentation with texture, thickness and finish. No previous experience is required. Participants take home their own handmade flax paper sheets.
