Wandering Through Paper: Seed Paper Art Making Lab
紙間漫遊：種子紙藝製作實驗室
About the Program
Ever wondered if paper could grow into a garden? Forget boring stationery! Welcome to our "Wandering Through Paper" lab! Step away from the screens, roll up your sleeves, and get your hands gloriously, messy-happy in our pulp vats. We’re taking scrap paper and giving it a second life as living, seed-embedded art. Once you take your creation home, write your thoughts or draw your dreams on it, then tuck it into the soil and watch your art literally bloom. I’ll also be bringing my secret stash of global handmade papers to show you the cool stories hidden in every fibre. It’s going to be messy, honest, and wildly fun. Come get your hands wet and help us turn trash into flowers!
This program is free. Online registration is recommended to reserve your spot.

TAIWANfest Toronto is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, that is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We acknowledge our privilege to be gathered here, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples of this land while we engage in meaningful conversations of culture and reconciliation.
