British Library Paper and Reflection workshop

“In this session, you will make handmade paper using found recycled materials and plant organic matter gathered from local green spaces.

As you create, we’ll invite you to reflect on our relationship with nature and ideas of growth, not just in nature but in our economic systems:

What does it mean to thrive?

Can we imagine a future built on care, slowness, and shared abundance rather than endless expansion?

You’ll make paper for yourself and for others, and contribute your thoughts to a growing installation of collective reflections—an open garden of ideas blooming with new ways to grow.”
