As part of the Italian Renaissance Drawing Exhinition at the British Museum April - July 2010, Clare ran the 'Create a Carta' workshop for families and children.

Visitors were able to make their own paper using a mould and pulp ready made from; newspaper, old books, yellow pages and kitchen roll. Colour was added to the pulp using food colouring. Students composed their own swatch of paper, adding string to make the 'watermark' indentation and texture with leaves and blossom.
