Paper Art Class




Marbling on recycled handmade paper, by last year's Paper Art Class
I’m teaching another children’s paper class this term through Days Bay Play.

This one is a basic introduction to marbling, recycled paper making and flower pressing, for children 5 and up. I’m really looking forward to seeing some new faces, and if anyone wants to come back from last year you are very welcome – we will be covering some of the same stuff, but there’s always room for a bit of fun experimentation, or more practice!

The finished work should include handmade paper cards and bookmarks with pressed flowers, and handmade marbled notebooks. We tend to do a fair bit of origami too.

Origami is always fun
 If you’re looking for something a bit different/for slightly older kids, there are also sewing classes going on at Days Bay Play this term for 8-12 year olds – they look pretty fantastic. I’m also intending to do a paper class next term for older kids.
