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!

紙張只能寫字嗎？太無聊了吧！歡迎光臨「紙間漫遊」實驗室。把生活中的焦慮先放一邊，準備好弄濕雙手，跟我們一起在水中玩泥巴（不，是玩紙漿！）吧。從打漿到抄紙，我們會把平凡的廢紙變成一張張充滿生命力的「種子紙」。這不只是一張紙，它能種出花來！回家寫上心事、畫上風景，然後把它種進土裡，看著藝術真的綻放成一片花海。現場我還會拿出搜刮自全球的特色紙樣，帶你解開纖維裡的文化密碼。這場創作派對保證會弄得一身泥水、笑聲不斷，快來加入我們，親手實現這場廢紙變鮮花的魔法！

This program is part of TAIWANfest
