Wednesday I had a Plant Papers Workshop with the Rangers from Larrakia Nation. It was great to teach papermaking again and we used Eucalyptus pulp linters and previoudly caustic cooked bush grasses. I instructed on how to cook up a batch of bush grass while we worked on previously caustic cooked Dwarf Papyrus plant fibres from my fish pond. The results were lovely, especially when the interesting part of mixing the two vats using the double dipping technique combined with skeleton leaves from my bush block making unique and lovely plant papers. Thanks ladies! I will upload a picture of a sample paper when they have dried and been pressed ready to use. Happy papermaking!
