In this two-hour workshop, you'll learn the fun and easy techniques of paste paper design. Using paint, glue, and DIY texture-making tools found in your home, we will explore how to prepare and design your own hand-crafted papers. Who knew that that old toothbrush, paperclip, or comb, could have such a crafty use?
(Quick note: Your papers will need to dry overnight, so you'll need to pick them up the next day or anytime following.)
