Take your junk mail—shred and toss pieces into a blender with water. Pour the resulting slurry into a dishpan. Capture the mixture with a screen piece held between two wooden frames i.e., a deckle. Drain. Dry on a flat surface.  You just made a sheet of PAPER!

Learn from Jake Wroten as he demonstrates his paper making method in this two-session class.
 
Session 1: Observe Jake’s methods, then form a sample paper sheet with your own deckle. Before you return for the second session, set up your very own blender papermaking area and make paper.

Session 2: Share your experiences and show off your handmade paper sheets. Jake will share how he creates paper treasures with pressed botanicals. Learn how to twist paper napkins into shifu, paper string for decorative and even functional uses like knotting the paper wrapper for a folded kimono.
