Using a blend of Western, Japanese, and Hawaiian techniques, you’ll learn how to create your own 6×9” postcard-sized sheets of paper. This introductory class is ideal for anyone interested in exploring sustainable creativity and natural materials. You’ll learn to beat fibers, make pulp baths, and use a mould and deckle—all skills you can take home and replicate with simple, household tools. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own unique handmade papers—rooted in nature and made by your own hands.
Classes are held on the following dates:

Sat, Sep 13, 1pm-3pm.
Sun, Sep 21, 1pm-3pm.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Papermaking is a wet process. Make sure to wear non-slip shoes. Optional: Bring your own waterproof apron.
Due to workshop time restrictions, students will take home wet paper that needs to dry at home.
Inform the instructor of any skin sensitivities (papermaking uses natural fibers and natural solutions).
Students aged 12 and below are not accepted at this time.
Papermaking materials will be provided.

Ticket prices are $115 per person.
ARTIST BIO
Angaea Cuna is a multimedia artist whose practice centers on book arts, fiber arts, and immersive installation. She holds a BFA from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has been awarded numerous exhibitions, fellowships, residencies, and scholarships throughout her creative journey.
For seven years, she worked at the Donkey Mill Art Center, a nonprofit community art space in Hōlualoa, Hawai‘i, where she began exploring the craft of papermaking—a process that has since become a cornerstone of her work. Her recent projects include a month-long artist residency on Moloka‘i, where she studied seaweed and algae that washed ashore. There, she harvested the invasive seaweeds to create handmade paper and bind a one-of-a-kind artist book honoring the spirit and ecology of the nameless fishpond.
This event takes place indoors. The Plant is accessible to guests and will do its best to accommodate any additional requests. Please contact music@theplantnc.com with any accommodation requests or accessibility concerns. There is free parking. Leashed pets are allowed but discouraged. See all events at The Plant.
