Gilly reviewed: Make paper from autumn leaves

"This was a nice thing to do but you need to wrap up as it was mainly outside and cold in the room. There wasn’t quite enough to do so we finished early. Maybe Brian could have prepared a few more different materials as we only used leaves ( worked well) and bracken which he hadn’t tried before and which didn’t work so well. He’s obviously very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the day!"

Wild Plant Paper responded:

"Thanks Gilly for your review. Sorry for the miscommunication, there was some other material we could have used, I got the feeling people had done all that they wanted to! Lesson learned, I will check I have understood what people are feeling next time. All the best Bryan "

Daniel reviewed: Make paper from wild and garden plants

"Today I joined the Wild Plant Paper full day session. I learned so much that I will be putting into practice immediately, I came home with a wonderful selection of paper that I made, and was given both the basic information and deeper science about making paper. The tutor was very knowledgable and friendly, and encouraged us all to try out new thingds. Would recommend to all budding artists, journal makers, scrap bookers, or those have a load of scrap paper they want to repurpose."

Wild Plant Paper responded:

"Glad you enjoyed the day!"
