Handmade paper production workshop

Do you know how paper is produced?

Paper is our companion every step of the way. Since it was invented until the present day, it has strongly influenced the world we live in. Apart from its practical characteristics, it has an artistic value as it serves as a basis for one’s artistic expression and material for creating something exceptional.

Would you like to see a more than a 400-year old process of making paper with the paper factory Vevče machines?

Moreover, would you like to make your own first paper? Join us in handmade paper making workshops. Together we will produce your first paper sheet out of Japanese knotweed fibre. Even though this is an invasive alien plant harming the local environment, it is, when removed, reused and repurposed as a source material for paper production.

The workshop was set up as a part of the APPLAUSE project, which connects experts and City Municipality of Ljubljana community as a whole. One of our objectives is to address the issue of invasive alien plant species and their negative impact on the native flora. Paper and other products made from the invasive alien plants thus present an important step towards preserving diversity of native plant species.
