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.
