18 April Workshop making Asparagus peel paper
Asparagus peels are very suitable for making paper. It becomes a brown transparent parchment-like paper. We work with pulp that goes partly in the Hollander (special blending machine) and partly beaten by hand. Then we form sheets and also experiment on the vacuum table. In the end we put the wet paper in a press, or let it air dry. A few days later, you can pick up your own sheets of paper at the workshop (or can be sent).
date 18 April time 14 – 17 location Weimarstraat 56, Den Haag
kosten € 75,- (inclusief materiaal) aantal deelnemers max 6
