This demonstration is full, however we plan to offer another session in Winter 2023. Please add your name to the waitlist and we'll contact you when the new session is scheduled.

This live demonstration is an introduction to making vegetable papyrus, a proto-paper made solely from fruits and vegetables. This organic and non-toxic artform provides ample opportunities to create stunning compositions that reveal the delicate veining and organic structures of the fruits and vegetables you work with. We will demonstrate the entire process of making vegetable papyrus, with time for questions and answers, and you will receive detailed instructions on how to make vegetable papyrus at home. 

Materials to Bring: 

No materials are required for the demonstration. Students will receive a detailed handout with all of the instructions and suggestions for sourcing tools and materials needed to make vegetable papyrus at home.
