With Malene

Join a creative hands-on workshop where children can make their own paper from recycled materials and plant fibers.

Participants will learn how paper is made and experiment with colorful paper pulp, pressed flowers, leaves, yarn, and natural materials gathered from the surrounding area. Each child can create up to three unique sheets of handmade paper and explore textures, colors, and patterns in a playful and sensory way.

The workshop is designed as an open and guided creative process where children can enjoy getting their hands in the water, tearing leaves, adding flowers, and watching new paper come to life.

Please note that the paper needs time to dry and can be picked up later.

Age: 4–12 years
Younger children are welcome with support from an adult.
