Paper Making Workshop with Inês Teles

In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the possibilities of papermaking.

Participants will learn how to prepare paper pulp and transform it into a new

paper surface.

The workshop will introduce the materials and tools required, as well as the

different characteristics and possibilities of paper. We will experiment with

different shapes, colours and textures, while incorporating natural and decorative elements such as leaves, petals, threads and other materials.

All materials are provided. No other preparation is necessary.
