Papermaking

Taught by Becca Ibarra

Community Workshop: Open to all – no Duke affiliation required!

Learn to make paper from recycled materials like junk mail! In this zero-waste workshop, we’ll use a blended pulp to create sheets of paper using the dip method with a mold and deckle, and discuss processes for making paper at home.
