Learn how to make beautiful handmade paper out of plant fibers, recycled scrap paper, and flowers! We will go through the traditional western-style hand papermaking process step-by-step: understanding different types of fiber, how to source and process fibers, making pulp, forming sheets, adding decorative inclusions, and pressing and drying the sheets. Everyone will make several pieces of paper to use for their own art and craft projects, for writing letters, or simply to appreciate as art in its own right. You'll also learn strategies for making paper at home in a relatively small space without the need for much specialized equipment. Please wear clothing and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet!

Learn the magic of combining type, paper, and ink at this Saturday letterpress workshop. You’ll learn the basics of the history of printing, how to set type, and how to print your design on a press that has been in use since 1911 as you create a letterpress print in up to two colors using antique wood and metal type, ornaments, and hand-carved illustrations.

The 20 prints you’ll take home will show the signature letterpress impression that only type can make! Class takers should come with a quote, lyric, or other phrase they want to print in mind, and wear clothes that they don’t mind getting a little inky.

Supplies: All materials are included with registration.

Join Sharon for an all-levels yoga class that will focus on simple exercises—many of which can be done from a chair—which focuses on countering the effects of crafting on the hands, arms, shoulders and hips. We’ll explore how movement might help us focus, create, and bravely send our ideas into the world! 

No previous yoga experience is needed. Much of our practice will be done seated in chairs or stools. Modifications will be taught for those who wish to work from the floor or yoga mat.
