Papermaking began in China approx. 2000 years ago! It was developed to spread literature, but over the years has been used to make hats, kimonos and sculpture. We will take the plant fibers of cotton and abaca (banana plant family) and mix them together to form sheets of pulp to create our handmade paper creations. In each class we make a different colorful paper sculpture to take home. Lisa May is a papermaker and sculptor whose specialty is teaching art to young children.
