Let’s learn and make together! Join exhibiting artist Ashley Page for a hands-on papermaking demonstration where participants will get the chance to make their own paper, while learning how to use their new found skill at home or in their studios. No previous papermaking experience is required. We recommend bringing basic art making materials, a sketchbook and photos, recycled paper, or prints that you’re comfortable cutting up/collaging with.

This workshop is being offered in conjunction with our current exhibition Kindred Futures: Through Our Eyes, co-curated by Ashley Page and Eli Kao.
