Adult Studio: Papermaking

This 4 hour workshop will introduce the basics of hand papermaking along with a guided tour of the Exhibition. Participants will learn to make several sheets of handmade paper that they can add botanicals to or embellish with pigmented pulps. We will conclude with pressing the handmade sheets so they will be ready to take away at the conclusion of the workshop!
