5-5:30pm and 5:30-6pm Class: Papermaking Using Herbal Marc and Florals with Sheila McMullin
This hands-on paper making workshop introduces crafters to the DIY world of paper making without the prohibitively expensive materials and inaccessible facilities. Using locally scavenged materials, recycled papers, and herbal marc to reduce landfill waste, crafters will make their own paper to take home and be used for writing, drawing, painting, letterpress, as greeting cards and wedding invitations, or as seed-starters. In a fun-spirited makerspace, Sheila will lead crafters through creating their own paper and offer techniques for DIY paper making at home. Support for materials has been generously provided by the Contemporary Irish Arts Center of Los Angeles.
Sheila McMullin is a poet, writing coach, and budding herbalist who works with city magic to turn concrete spaces into lively herbal gardens in pots. Through her love for words, herbs, and composting, she began crafting her own paper out of herbal marc, seeds, and recycled materials as an act of devotion to the natural world.
