Once again, I'm offering a fall paper-making class at Mt. Pisgah Arboretum, in Buford Park just southeast of Eugene. It's a beautiful location (most of the class pictures on this website were taken there), and weather permitting, we'll set up outside under the oak trees.
Papermaking with Natural Materials
Sunday, September 14, 2-4 pm
Mt. Pisgah Arboretum, 34901 Frank Parrish Road (off Seavey Loop), Eugene
Instructor: Denise Gosar
Learn to incorporate nature into art at this papermaking workshop. Students
can choose from a variety of pulps and add their own unique touch with natural
dyes and decorative ingredients. Everyone takes home a finished product!
In addition to hands-on practice in this ancient art, students will learn
about the diversity of fibers available for paper making (including many
common garden plants) and creative uses for handmade paper.
2 hours of instruction, materials included.
Fee: $10 adults/ $5 kids
Register at (541) 747-1504.
I'm also teaching a four-session fall papermaking class at the University of Oregon Craft Center.
Check the Craft
Center website for more information, or to see when registration begins.
