Hemp was once the most valuable and widely used feedstock for fibre, food and construction. It was outlawed in the US in the 20th Century as part of a strategy for commercial domination by chemical, steel and oil magnates.
As the dangers of fossil fuels, mining and deforestation become increasingly apparent, hemp is making a resurgence globally as a natural, green alternative. Papermaking is the touchstone of this return.
The workshop will involve: a short and intriguing video covering the history and process of papermaking; hands-on instruction.
Workshop will be led by Gilbert Grace MFA and is supported by The Green Living Centre and Inner West Council.
