This is an unusual combination of workshops and a community projects, involving small groups of participants being introduced to basic and experimental techniques of Hand Papermaking in a workshop setting in the actual exhibition space.
Some of the works created at these events by the public will then form a large collage piece that will become part of the 'Land – Scripts” exhibition. This collage will be ultimately formed and shaped collaboratively by the participants and the artist throughout the two days. You will also bring handmade paper pieces home with you!
