Come and see what papermaking is all about at the Madison & Main on First Friday October 7, 2022 from 5-7pm. The gallery is open until 8pm.

Basic Papermaking - This process involves dipping a screen stretched across a frame—known as the “mould and deckle”—into a vat of pulp (made from recycled paper or plant materials). You then lift the screen out of the vat, and shake it so that the fibers interlock as the water drains through the screen. The freshly made sheet of paper is then transferred onto a surface—usually a piece of felt—and is then pressed and dried.

This is a hands-on event. Take your handmade paper home with you.
