Paper Making!

Paper making is one of my favorite things to teach.  During this session students learned about re-using and recycling old flyers, papers, cards and even old jeans.  They learned traditional paper making techniques and began to create beautiful paper.
 I then showed them several different techniques such as laminations, embossing and inclusions.  After several weeks of making paper students then learned traditional Japanese book binding techniques and made accordion books and a Yamato binding.  All students made amazing and unique books with their wonderful papers!
