Paper making workshop Tixall Stafford

Had a lovely paper making day last Saturday 14th August, we made a variety of papers from recycled papers and fabrics and foliage, I demonstrated how to mix colours on the deckle and how to couch multicoloured papers, the results were great. Here are some work in progress photos.

In the afternoon we made some silk paper sheets and then some silk paper vessels.

This vessel has silk chiffon fabric to add design, silk and  hemp to add texture.
