Adult Workshop: Sustainable Botanical Paper Making
November 16 @ 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
$45
Join Estefania Villaquirán, creator of Natural
Integrators, for a fun and creative step-by-step paper-making workshop.
You will learn firsthand the techniques of working with recycled
materials and pressed flowers to create one-of-a-kind sheets of paper.
By repurposing fiber from old books and egg cartons, you will dive into
the process of shredding, blending, pulping, screening, dyeing with
flowers, draining, pressing, and drying. You will also receive a
pre-made card to adorn with pressed flowers, which you will take home,
along with your newfound knowledge of papermaking.
Through years of experimenting with this technique,
Estefania has developed strong skills in the art of making handmade
paper cards at home and has made them available to the community. She
creates her art pieces by integrating pressed flowers and meaningful
typewritten messages. Her workshops focus on promoting mindful attention
and presence, enhancing creativity, connection with nature, and
relaxation.
Cost: $45 non-members, $40 Willow Bend members, includes materials. Space is limited.
