【Plant-Based Handmade Paper & Bookbinding Workshop】
Plant papermaking combines natural materials with handcraft techniques. In this workshop, the instructor will guide students through professional techniques, including preparing plant fibers, making paper, pressing, drying, and binding. Starting with natural materials, students will learn how to create handmade paper. They can add items such as tea leaves, tree leaves, flower petals, or coffee grounds to create paper with different textures, colors, and natural scents. The course encourages students to explore how paper changes in texture, color, and shape, and to apply these qualities in their own artistic work. Through repeated practice and experimentation, students will see the many possibilities of paper. Participants will learn practical skills in traditional papermaking and bookbinding, and complete a handmade paper portfolio, experiencing the full process from raw materials to finished pieces.
