paperless society?

Paperless society?
NOT.

Though we all think the use of the computer has reduced our use of paper, it hasn't. So why not LEARN TO MAKE YOUR OWN?
ArtScape has a one session class coming up on October 13th where you can embrace the texture, the fluidity, the fun of paper making.
If you have ever wondered how one turns cotton rags, trees, and other vegetable matter into the wonderful thing we use every day then you won't want to miss this class.
Learn how the Chinese developed the method of papermaking that hasn't really changed for over 2000 years. A screen, a frame, fiberous material, and a lot of water.

You will learn to create your own mold and deckle (frame and screen), learn how to turn ordinary scrap paper and vegetative matter into beautiful paper suitable for making cards, using in collages, making your own handmade books (just in time for holiday giving), or as a work of art on their own.

Our teacher, Cherene Bebeau is well known in the area for her accessible teaching method, her hands on help, and her dedication to your creative growth.
