Engage in a hands-on papermaking experience using recycled materials and weeds. Explore ideas of resilience, renewal, and natural beauty while creating your own handmade paper. This reflective workshop invites mindfulness, creativity, and connection to nature.

Discover the overlooked beauty of weeds in a therapeutic papermaking workshop. Through conversation, reflection, and hands-on artmaking, participants will explore weeds as symbols of resilience while learning traditional papermaking techniques. Using recycled materials and natural elements like dandelion seeds, each person will create unique sheets of handmade paper infused with personal meaning. This calming, community-centered experience offers a chance to slow down, connect with others, and see both plants—and ourselves—in a new light.
