| Papermaking |
Take a guided tour with artist Gail Fishberg through an ancient craft that has become a contemporary art form. Students learn about the history of communication as they make their own paper from raw pulp, using rainbow-hued dyes and found objects such as thread, yarn, leaves, and flowers. This very hands-on workshop is creative and fun from the minute participants dip their hands into the colorful pulp-filled water, until their one of a kind design is completed. Participants can take their handmade paper home to frame and hang as a piece of art, or use as a cover for a journal, diary, scrapbook, or on a book the students write themselves. A favorite of all ages!
