Join us in Fair Game's Wheelhouse for a Papermaking Workshop with Angaea Cuna!
Connect with the earth through the ancient and meditative art of papermaking. In this hands-on workshop, teaching artist Angaea Cuna will guide you through the magical transformation of natural fibers—like Kozo, Wauke, Abaca, and Hemp—into beautiful handmade paper.
Using a blend of Western, Japanese, and Hawaiian techniques, you’ll learn how to create your own 6x9” postcard-sized sheets of paper. This introductory class is perfect for anyone curious about sustainable creativity and natural materials. You’ll learn to beat fibers, make pulp baths, and use a mould and deckle—all skills you can take home and replicate with simple, household tools.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own unique handmade papers—rooted in nature and made by your own hands.

For seven years, she worked at the Donkey Mill Art Center, a nonprofit community art space in Hōlualoa, Hawai‘i, where she began exploring the craft of papermaking—a process that has since become a cornerstone of her work.
