Paper Making for Kids In-Person
Kids (ages 7 and up)- Join us for fun with Papermaking. Roll up your sleeves as you’re going to get wet. Make your own paper in various colors and thicknesses, adorned with flower petals, ribbons, even insects. It’s amazing how simple it is. Rip up bits of existing paper, put into a household blender with water and grind into pulp. Using a nifty frame built from wood, duct tape and window screen, the pulp is sloshed on top, forming a wet layer of paper mulch. We flip this onto a sheet of cloth and allow it to dry, forming a whole new sheet of paper from the torn bits. Add any sort of embellishments such as string, sparkles or petals to make it uniquely your own. Your new dry sheet of paper can be used for scrapbooking, bookmaking, drawing or any other artistic treatment. It may be so beautiful you’ll just want to display it as is. Participants in the Paper Making Workshop will need to bring something at least 12" x 12" large on which to take their wet paper home. Limited to 15 students. Kindly just register the child attending.
