You’ll experience learning a meditative, contemporary, non-traditional papermaking technique with flax roving. Flax paper is highly textured lending itself to various applications for sculpture and collage.

This class is designed to make friends with your inner-critic and to have fun. At the end of the day you will have a beautiful fiber sculpture. Plant inclusions and foraged materials are encouraged.
