Making Paper with Plant Matter
Saturday March 30th 10 AM - 3 PM
Headwaters Music & Arts
519 Minnesota Ave NW
$45 ($40 for members of Headwaters)
Have you ever wondered how paper was made? Learn the process and make your own sheets of paper with paper makers Bonnie Vigness and Linda Bissell. Use common plant matter that can be collected from the kitchen such as pineapple and asparagus to make you own beautiful sheets that you can take home

Bonnie and Linda have been making their own paper for years. They started to explore the process as a way to reuse shredded paper and then continued experimenting with vegetables and fruit matter. They often experiment with fibers that would otherwise be tossed as compost or recycling. The two have made paper for local artists and Bonnie continues to take orders for custom paper

The workshop will be held Saturday, March 30 10 AM - 3 PM and is for adults. No experience necessary but advance registration is required (limited number of spots available. The cost to attend is $45 ($40 Headwaters members).  Learn more and register by calling Headwaters at 218-444-5606 or online at headwatersmusicandarts.org
