Kids, make your own sheets of paper this summer at a papermaking studio.
Get your hands wet with pulp as you pull your own sheets of paper in different colors, shapes, and sizes! Experiment with a turkey baster, squeeze bottle, cookie cutter, or yarn to make pulp designs and decorate your paper. This workshop introduces you to the world of papermaking and various techniques used by papermakers. When your paper dries, you can use it for writing letters, drawing pictures, making books, or something else. What will you do with yours?
Spotlight on Denim
Yes, you can make paper from old jeans! Denim pulp will be one of several vats of pulp used to pull sheets of paper in this class. Feel the difference between the denim fibers and the other fiber. Experiment using pieces of denim and denim strings in decorating your paper.
