Dear fellow Hanoverians:
American Originals: Hanover Historical Society’s Center for
Traditional Arts and Crafts
Beginning Papermaking
July 20th and July 21st, 1:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Make your own paper! Learn where and how paper was first made and how
it has changed the history of the world. Discover your inner
creativity and come away with skills you can use for a lifetime.
Students will be able to: describe the history of paper from its
origins in Asia to its uses today, bring samples for examination and
discussion, talk about different types and uses of paper, and
demonstrate basic techniques. The final product will be a bound
sampler of handmade papers. Students will learn what goes into making
a sheet of paper as well as vocabulary and household items necessary
to make paper. They will take a walk and find plants or other items to
include in their paper. The second session will include making a mold
and deckle and paper casting. Students will even learn about a scandal
that involved historic Asian papers that happened right here in
Hanover!
