Students will make their own pad of paper from scratch using plant fibers and recycled textile waste. The paper will be usable for drawing, painting, and general craft. Students will first work together to process raw plant fiber and textile scrap into enough pulp stock for the whole class. Next they will learn how to form each sheet by hand using a mold and deckle. Sheets will then be dried and flattened so that they can select a simple binding method that suits the future use of their handmade paper.
