Hand Papermaking

November 7, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

papermaking

Explore the ancient art of papermaking in this engaging, hands-on workshop. Learn the basic elements of creative papermaking as the instructor leads the class through the process of preparing the vat of pulp, pulling a sheet with a mould and deckle, couching the sheet, then pressing the paper. Each student will receive a sheaf of their handmade sheets after they have completely dried. Participants should be prepared to get a bit wet as we are all in water up to our elbows.

Registration: $75 including materials; members receive a 10% discount. Become a member today!
