Paper making demonstration

This class will teach multiple ways to make and prepare paper for different types of origami models. We will start with a discussion on the different characteristics of paper and the value of using the appropriate paper for each fold. Example papers will be available to feel the differences along with finished models using different papers. We will then demonstrate the steps to make handmade paper from scratch. We will also demonstrate treating pre-made paper with methylcellulose to prepare it for folding, and explain ways to customize the paper for your needs. Time permitting, attendees will be able to try these techniques hands on.
