This workshop serves as an introduction to the history and how-tos of papermaking. Part one of the workshop will focus on assembling basic papermaking materials and making simple sheets of paper, using tin cans instead of molds and deckles. Part two will showcase techniques for embedding materials and stenciling pulp. Participants will go home with a tin-can papermaking kit and a pack of handmade paper samples. Tin-Can Papermaking has something to offer beginners and accomplished papermakers alike.

Materials to Bring: Two empty tin cans that are the same size.

Workshop + Materials fee: $140
