Papermaking with Laura Post

On today’s episode of H2OMG I take a trip to the studio of local papermaker and printmaker, Laura Post. And if you’re wondering what papermaking has to do with water, well don’t worry because we cover that pretty early in our talk, and, as it turns out, water is pretty important to papermaking. </p> Laura has also been experimenting with making paper from plants that are considered invasive in our North Texas environment, and you know we here at H2OMG are all about getting rid of non-native plants and replacing them with Native plants. They’ll look better and require less water than non-native pants because, duh, they are native to this environment.</p> Laura’s website: <a href="https://www.laurarpost.com/">https://www.laurarpost.com/</a></p> Laura’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurarpost/">https://www.instagram.com/laurarpost/</a></p> Papermaking Workshop at BRIT (9/18/21): <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/shop.brit.org/Papermaking__;!!FBD41DuKpIh0IME!dLYqQu5N2FkNpzWIdCJ6VLqPGjuInw1elI60juDKK8b8zXQv1C1kygEsdHRJQywxxNkU2ZC7IKtXz4vzaaU$">https://shop.brit.org/Papermaking</a></p> H2OMG is brought to you by Fort Worth Water’s Customer Engagement and Conservation groups.
