Using weeds, plant matter, seeds and fern spores join artist Merinda Davies to learn how to make paper from plants. After the workshop you can take the paper home, or contribute it to the forest where you will be invited to use some of the paper to write a letter to the Surfers Paradise forest that will be delivered to the trees on a future date via the ferns, fungi and microbes.

To bring - yourself, a curious and open mind, wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty/wet, all paper making materials will be provided.

Accessibility - this workshop is indoors in a ground level artist studio. Please contact us if you have any accessibility questions or concerns.

This workshop is part of a larger project 'Conversations with the Forest', a living, breathing and growing artwork unfurling over time in Surfers Paradise.
