MAKING PAPER
YEAR 7 - I have recently started a new after school club for Year 7s. I wanted to do something with an eco-minded theme. I decided on paper making - working in an art department we have lots of paper that is ready and waiting to be reused and recycled. This was the first session of actual paper making as during the first session the students helped me cut up recycled fabric (for soaking up water) and tear up paper that was then soaked and blended. The students loved the process and especially enjoyed adding colour with water based inks. At the end of the session we went outside to pick some leaves and flowers to press which we will experiment adding them to our paper making in the following weeks!
