paper making 18+
instructed by molly nelko

Today almost all paper is made using industrial machinery, but

handmade paper survives as a specialized craft and a medium for artistic expression.

 

Come and learn not only the process to make your own paper but also a brief fascinating history.

​

This class is for adults only, 18+.

​

Dates:

​

This class will be offered twice,

 

Thursday: April 20; 6-8pm

Saturday: April 22; 2:30-4:30pm

 

Cost is $50 per person. Please bring nonlaminated non glossy pieces of scrap paper from home. Old sketchbooks are a great idea to recycle into new paper. The rest of the supplies will be provided.
