SUMMARY:Paper Making Class
DESCRIPTION:Learn the ancient tradition of paper-making! Millenia old in China and Europe\, the first American paper mill was established in 1690 in Pennsylvania. Learn how this eco-friendly craft can help us “upcycle” used paper products\, and even fabric\, to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. \nIn this workshop\, you’ll participate in the process of making paper pulp and straining it through a deckle to create unique hand-made paper. You’ll come home with your own sheets that can be used for card-making\, crafts\, and correspondence! The instructor will also demonstrate “pulp painting\,” a way you can customize your paper by adding color and pattern before a sheet is complete. Dried flowers\, metallic threads\, and other add-ins will be on hand… feel free to bring your own contributions for a truly special piece. \n\nApron or smock recommended.
