Make Eco Paper

DATE: 6 DEC

TIME: 11H-12H30

PRICE: €30; €5 for Stadspas holders

LANGUAGE: EN + NL

We'll turn old paper into brand new paper! Children tear, soak and mix used paper into pulp, and discover the tiny fibres that hold every sheet together. We travel through the history of paper, from its ancestor papyrus, which ancient Egyptians painted with birds, trees and stories, to the washi paper of Japan, and talk about how recycling gives materials a second life. With a wooden frame, children scoop, press and dry their own sheets, then add petals, seeds and leaves to decorate them, giving old paper a whole new life.

The workshop is designed & led by Ahmet Dundar and Secil Guven in collaboration with Art Studio Amsterdam.

This workshop is an extension of a children's art and science course.
