Learn how to repurpose waste paper material to create beautiful sheets of handmade paper using seaweed, fungi, flower petals, and other locally foraged materials with Sophie Anna Gibbings.  This is a hands-on workshop and you will be able to make your own sheet of paper to take home with you. Feel free to bring any organic materials that you would like to use in your paper!

Handmade paper will be available in the shop for sale on the day of the workshop, regardless of attending the workshop. 

About the artist

Sophie Anna Gibbings is a regenerative artist working in collaboration with nature using different mediums including printmaking, alternative process photography, painting, sculpture, and performance. Sophie walks, observes, collects, and listens to discover artmaking materials that can be returned to the Earth, without any harm. She is interested in what happens to the materials after and beyond their time on display, and how this consideration might help regenerate ecologies. Her works are ephemeral, about letting go of control. They are an expression of her spiritual practice and her creative practice, as we all come from nature and return to nature.
