Papermaking


These exploratory workshops introduce participants to the world of hand papermaking. Each workshop is a place for artistic discovery, and covers a different topic. Participants will learn how to transform a variety of grown and gathered plant fibers (from the garden and beyond) into new sheets of handmade paper and/or other artistic techniques based on the class focus.
