Join us on May 4 at Traveler's Rest State Park! Derick Wycherly will lead a drop-in papermaking workshop from 12:30 - 230 pm as part of Saturday's exciting "The Gathering" event, where Travelers' Rest will host a day of Indigenous Artists and vendors from noon to 4 pm!

Making Paper in the Field:
At this introductory workshop, come learn how natural fibers and water can be combined to create sheets of handmade paper. See how a beater turns fiber into pulp. Take turns pulling sheets from colorful vats with molds and deckles. All ages are welcome; participants may get wet.
