Workshop: Japanese Papermaking - Valentine’s Day Washi Workshop
Celebrate Valentine’s Day through the gentle, meditative art of Japanese papermaking. In this hands-on workshop, participants will create their own sheets of washi—traditional Japanese paper made from natural fibers such as kozo (mulberry bark) and hemp. You’ll also have the opportunity to compare Eastern and Western approaches to papermaking by experimenting with cotton and other pulps, discovering how different fibers shape texture, strength, and translucency.
Using seasonal, Valentine-themed watermarks and decorative materials, each participant will craft uniquely expressive papers perfect for cards, artwork, or keepsakes. The workshop includes an introduction to the history of washi, its cultural significance, and its everyday use in Japan—from shoji screens to folding fans.
All levels are welcome. Come explore the beauty of natural fibers, slow craft, and handmade expression.
