I was invited by the Pembrokeshire Guild of Weavers, Spinners & Dyers to teach this beginners Creative Papermaking workshop, in Y Stiwdio, Hermon. They were creating paper with a view to making their own paper books to add a woven, spun and/or hand dyed cover to, as part of a National Guild exhibition happening in the Autumn. Handmade recycled papermaking is a lovely additional personal touch to the exhibition brief.
