Everyone was given sheets of old printed paper to tear into bits while the rest of the details involved in the process were explained to them. The Earthsmiles.net team then demonstrated pulp making using an odinary household "Mixie" (Mixer-cum-grinder). The guest were also allowed to join in the fun of pulping the paper shreds, by adding water and blending in the mixie.

One of the EarthSmilers then used a Deckle and Mould, (equipment used for shaping and collecting pulp to form paper,) to create a perfect sheet of new handmade paper, lifting it from a trough of water, swirling with the newly created pulp.

The guests were awestruck by how perfect the sheet of paper turned out to be.

Thereafter, they were divided into groups of two to try their hand at the process while being mentored by the Earthsmilers. Once everybody had got a chance to make a sheet of hand-made paper, they were shown simple ways to decorate these sheets - from using using food colour to glitter to embellish their creations.

Earthsmiles.net had also brought along with them some products that they make with recycled paper which included notepads, bookmarks and a lantern. these were gifted to the participants.

After a short feedback session, in which the guest expressed their delight at the conduct of the workshop, ("the best workshop yet" - thank you, DB Schenker) the DB Schenker crew was awarded a certificate on behalf of Earthsmiles for their participation in the event. The certificate was made of - you guessed it - hand-made recycled paper.
