Local Plant Papers

Learn the papermaking process from the plant stage to finished paper. Working with Vineyard plants from gardens and fields, you will prepare fibers from any of the following: daffodil, iris or lily leaves; pampas grass; or cornhusk. You will work through all steps—cooking, rinsing, and beating fibers into pulp and, finally, pulling sheets of paper.
