Papermaking Workshop with The Nature Library

Papermaking Workshop with The Nature Library

Consider the connections between food, land and stories in this nature-inspired papermaking workshop. Participants will create their own handmade paper using waste materials from Narture bakery, with incorporated texts from books within The Nature Library which celebrate food, growing and that which nourishes us. No experience is necessary and all equipment will be provided.

Christina Riley (b. 1988) was born in Florida and lives in on Ayrshire coast. With a focus on intertidal waters and the undersea, she is interested in the small details of coastal habitats and how perspectives shift with close looking and encouraging new ways of seeing and experiencing our surroundings, natural and otherwise. Longlisted for Canongate’s Nan Shepherd Prize for Nature Writing, her photobook The Beach Today was published by Guillemot Press in 2021 and her debut non-fiction book, Looking Down at the Stars: Life Beneath the Waves will be published by Saraband in November 2025. In 2019 she started The Nature Library to consider the role of literature in times of climate crisis.
