It Was Written On

Lot 10 Paper-Making Classes

Your dried-roses-as-decor phase ended right around the time a someone actually sent you dead flowers.

Breathe new life into them at a paper-making workshop with Robert Thompson, the self-taught Fairburn stationer behind Lot 10’s adorably kitschy journal, lamp, and stationery line.

His classes are tight (just one four-hour session) and small (no more than five students, though he’ll do private classes for larger groups). You’ll go home with your own paper-making kit — canvas stretcher, mix vat, and frame to facilitate at-home crafting — and a fresh batch of the grainy, old worldesque parchment that Lot 10 fans love.

Thompson harvests organic plants for pulp and encourages students to bring sentimental fillers — Gerber daisies, love notes, baby blanket threads — to add to the mix.

A far better use for past-their-prime posies.


Classes start Saturday, at Beehive Co-Op, 1831a Peachtree Road, Buckhead (404-351-1166 or beehiveco-op.com). For private lessons, e-mail lot10paper@yahoo.com.
