Event details
Thursday 5 September | 5.30pm to 7.30pm
£45 per person
Spend a tranquil evening at the Chatsworth Stickyard, our rustic outdoor learning centre. Join artist Chris Hughes, who will guide you through the handmade process of making paper by recycling waste, before collecting and adding form from natural debris, flower petals, seeds and leaves.
Chris will share insights into selecting the right mix of materials, balancing textures, colours and weights to achieve the desired paper quality.
With each step, you will discover the transformation from raw materials into handmade paper with unique character. Once the process has finished you can take home your beautiful paper to treasure.
