The workshop uses recycled junk mail and other bits of post-consumer waste paper in the papermaking process which participants will be turning into beautiful new sheets of handmade paper.

The Papermaking Workshop will be a hands-on, one and a half day class that is open to anyone at least 12 years of age.
The first day is spent learning how to make pulp and forming several sheets of various papers. The following day will be spent finishing pieces and learning additional techniques of “pulp painting.” The workshop is $50 per person and the only thing participants need to bring is a bath towel. Pre-registration is required with a $20 deposit. For questions or to register, contact BAAC at 870-793-3382.
