Papermaking Workshop
7:00 PM
7 Lorne Street

Come down to Struts for a papermaking workshop with Artist in Residence Kamaya Lindquist. First come, first serve - there are only spots for about 5 people at a time (but it goes really fast). Participants are requested to bring "outdated documents" or papers that they don't need anymore (like old receipts, exams, expired contracts, etc.). The idea is for people to bring something that used to be important to them, but now isn't necessary anymore.

Kids 8-12 can participate, too, with a parent or guardian (youth aged 13+ don't need a chaperone).

If you have any questions, please email: betterthangarbage@gmail.com.
The workshop is free.
