paper making workshop
In this workshop, you'll engage in a thoughtful process of writing down your joys🥳 and challenges🤯 from 2023. Followed by the symbolic act of shredding these notes, representing the release of past burdens and the cherishing of positive memories.
The shredded paper will be used to create new, handmade paper, marking new beginnings. Additional materials like pigments🎨 and dried flowers💐 will be available to personalise your paper.
After the workshop, your crafted paper will be dried and ready for collection at a follow-up session (about1～2 weeks, date to be confirmed), complete with snacks and drinks for a time of socialising and sharing experiences!
