A word from your guide
Hello, I'm Lola, a visual artist passionate about art and nature. The words that define me are curiosity, creativity, and sharing! Thirty years ago, while studying art, I trained with an artist in making plant-based paper. This training completely changed my artistic practice and my work, and allowed me to combine my two passions: art and nature.
After years of personal research, I want to pass on this technique through workshops and courses, and help you discover the diversity and richness of the nature that surrounds us, so that you can make paper and creations with plants from your environment, while fully respecting them.
Description of your future experience
3 days immersed in nature. 3 days to unwind, to take a break... 3 days to learn how to make plant-based paper! Come join us and finally take the time to create with nature using plants from your surroundings!
On the agenda:
• A walk to gather and discover plants that can be used to make paper.
• Cooking and rinsing the plants to extract the cellulose fiber, as well as bleaching certain pulps.
• Making sheets of plant-based paper.
Different sizes and shapes will be explored, from rectangles to circles. You’ll experiment, at your own pace and in your own way, with the possibilities and unique qualities each plant offers.
• Pressing the sheets to dry.
• Sharing observations, reflections, research, and questions regarding technical, visual, and artistic practices.
A selection of books on plants (botanical research), papermaking, and its use in the visual arts, as well as exhibition catalogs, will be available for consultation on site, along with binders containing a wide variety of papers made from numerous plants.
