Class | Available
Registration deadline: 2/4
Make your very own handmade paper, useful for stationery, cards, crafts, and more. We will blend up some varied batches of pulp using recycled paper, fabrics, fibers, and dried plant material. We will make paper from those pulps. Materials are provided, but feel free to bring items you think might work for making paper and that you would be willing to contribute to our pulp and papermaking adventure. This is an active, hands-on, on-your-feet kind of class, creative and fun. Please consider inviting someone to sign up with you.

I am a paper maker. I have learned a lot while making paper over the years and enjoy sharing this fun and rewarding craft with others. It has been especially fun to find ways to recycle waste fiber into usable paper. I also weave baskets and have taught basic basket weaving classes intermittently as well. As a homeschool mom for more than 30 years, I had many opportunities to share these skills with others in various settings.
