The LGBT center and Common Press present Papermaking with seeds and recycled fibers

Learn to make your own sheets of paper, incorporating both recycled paper fibers and seeds. Seed papers can be planted to sprout flowers. Participants will each produce a collection of unique handmade papers, which can be picked up after the workshop. We’ll discuss the sustainability aspects of making your own papers and talk about plantable papers and seed bombs.

Registration is required and space is limited.
