Knotweed paper making at Braddock Farm – October 21, 2023
We will be making seed bombs in this class. Seed Bombs are a great garden project, made with wildflower seeds molded together with recycled paper pulp.
They are thrown or laid on the soil and nature’s rains dissolve them to germinate the seeds.
Everything is provided but, you are welcome to bring your own favorite seeds!
Join me at Contemporary Crafts for 3-D Pulp painting.
We’ll use plastic and glass cups, bowls as molds, yarn, string, sticks, wire and cloth to build armatures. We’ll then attach wet pulps such as abaca, cotton linter, and other heavier natural pulps to the armatures, molds and shapes we built. Various inclusions and colored pulps will be used to enhance our creations.
