Learn how to make paper from local fibers at Intro to Western Papermaking in the Evergreen Lodge.
Instructor E. Ainsley will help students form sheets made from miscanthus and corn fiber using a mould and deckle tool. Students can also bring their own dried flowers to add and will leave with several 8.5 by 11-inch damp pressed sheets. Once dried at home, the sheets can be incorporated into their own arts and crafts projects!
$150/person (Ages 14+). Register here. Registration will close Jan. 17 or when capacity is reached.
