Petals & pulp

Welcome to Petals and Pulp! During this workshop, we will explore the ancient art of papermaking using botanicals.

Petals and Pulp approaches the art of papermaking in a new light, taking a more intuitive approach. Here, the botanical elements are intentionally chosen based on a deeper meaning. We embellish our paper with specific botanicals and herbs to create a sort of talisman that holds our own intuitive magic. The idea behind this offering is centered around a need to slow down and focus inward. To quiet our minds and listen to what calls us. 

Papermaking is a therapeutic process involving water, a relaxing element, reminding us to let go, and connect with the moment. This process really encourages you to get into your body, lose yourself in the colors and textures. You cannot completely control the outcome of the paper, and that is part of what makes this process so healing. The intention, change, and transformation is in the unknown. 

This workshop will be a creative space, set up as an open studio. This style of workshop allows you to individually explore what’s going on beneath the surface while creating handmade magic and learning a new artform at your own pace.

All are welcome to explore this new art, no experience necessary.

Come join us for this botanical papermaking experience!

FAQ:

*We will label each sheet of pulp as it is pressed so we know which pieces belong to you once they have been dried. You will receive information on when your paper will be ready for pick up during the workshop.

*Given the style of this workshop, you can stay for the full two hours and make as much paper as you would like for your journaling, stationary, spell paper, framing purposes~ or you can make a set amount of paper and head out when you feel satisfied. I always encourage making new connections and friends because we could all use a little more sense of creative and supportive community! But I am a big believer in listening to your body, so the workshop is set up in a way that allows you to make the experience your own based on your individual need and energy level that day.
