Rags Make Paper... Clothing rags, once a dominant commodity in paper production, are still used today in the art and craft of hand papermaking. In this workshop you will learn how to make handmade sheets of paper rendered from clothing rags and textiles. Learn the basics about acquiring fiber, preparing and processing them into paper pulp with a Hollander beater and the steps of forming them into sheets of paper. Tools and materials are provided, please bring scissors, an apron and footwear for wet conditions.

Open to ages 18+.

Registration deadline: April 25
