Hand Papermaking with Garden Plants

Saturday April 7, 2018 • 9:30AM-3:30PM • Powell Gardens • $124 includes lunch, tuition and materials fee

9:30AM-3:30PM

The key ingredient to creating handmade paper is an organic compound found in all plant based materials–cellulose. Although a component to all plant material, not all plant materials are suitable for papermaking. This day long hands-on workshop, presented in collaboration with the Kansas City Art Institute’s Fiber Department and School of Professional and Continuing Studies will provide participants with experience in identifying, growing, and collecting several local plants that can be incorporated into hand papermaking. Participants will also discuss the long history of papermaking, and create their very own pieces of paper using materials grown at Powell Gardens.
