In this hands-on practical session with Usha Mahenthiralingam you’ll discover an easy recipe to make your own seeded ‘recycled’ paper using simple everyday items.

Into the recipe we’ll bring our shared experiences, discovering the power of seeds as ideas – connection – growth – beauty and legacy.

It is thought the first papers were made in China in about 105 AD from mulberry bark, hemp and rags – mushed to a pulp, flattened and dried in the sun.
In Egypt the papyrus was used as paper around 3000 BC and to this day the plant world continues to provide us with endless realms of paper – something we have possibly take for granted.

Here’s a chance to create your own seeded paper, keep it for yourself or pass it on to others, ultimately returning it back to mother earth.
