WORKSHOP OF HANDMADE PAPER FROM OLD CARDBOARD

Cultural-ecological fellowship Smetumet has organised a workshop of handmade paper in the Centre for Vocational Rehabilitation Soča. The opportunity of cooperation with the VDC Sonček was found, as they uses the paper for packaging their products. After a short introduction into recycling paper and a presentation of the blind printing technique, the participants got to work. They used old packaging of various colours and added various flower leaves and seeds that were picked nearby. They made beautiful and unique papers.
