Garrison Art Center

Paper is the foundation of so much of our work as artists. Explore the possibility of paper in a new way. Participants are invited to make handmade paper using recycled and found materials. There will be a brief demonstration followed by ample support and instruction as participants collect materials and engage in the process of making their very own paper. Papermaking is a cathartic and fun activity for all ages and ability levels. This exploration of medium and process can open up so much possibility for any creative practice. The papers work well as foundations for printmakers and painters, collage, sculpture, and beyond.

This workshop is for adults and mature teens of all skill levels. All materials are included, and participants are encouraged to bring materials they would like to include in their papers such as images, dryer lint, old newspaper, old letters or journal entries, dried plants or flowers, tissue paper, junk mail, and more.

This workshop is in our printmaking studio and is accessible only by stairs.
