Papermaking Class

In con­junc­tion with the visit by children’s book illus­tra­tor Denise Flem­ing in Novem­ber, we are pre­sent­ing this paper­mak­ing class. The illus­tra­tions in Denise Fleming’s books are cre­ated with hand­made paper. Now you too can make your own paper. Learn how in this easy and fun hands-on paper­mak­ing work­shop taught by Mary Nice. You will cre­ate a book­mark or an ornament.

The class is on Tues­day, Novem­ber 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This class is for teens and adults. It is FREE but you must be pre-registered in order to have enough sup­plies for each stu­dent. Stu­dents may pro­vide their own bits and pieces if desired: you may bring envelopes, con­struc­tion paper, seeds in seed pack­ets, tis­sue paper, candy wrap­pers, old greet­ing cards, junk mail, mar­garine wrap­pers, bak­ery sacks and paper. Use your imagination!

Paper­mak­ing is wet and messy — dress accord­ingly and have FUN!

This pro­gram funded in part through an Insti­tute of Museum and Library Ser­vices LSTA grant awarded by the State Library of Ohio.
