This is the most fun and natural integration of ecology, science, art, and history.  Based on the more than 2,000 year old Asian practice, you become part of the entire process of re-using old paper to make new from beginning to end--tearing paper, blending pulp, and pulling your own sheet of paper to take home, or make into cards or small book covers.

Why it is INTENSIVE:
Preparation, set-up, and break down takes approximately 40 minutes.
One instructor helps two participants at a time pull sheets of paper from the tub.
Pairs or small groups rotate through a series of "jobs" relying on one to two adults for group management.
Time needed to rotate through the group will vary, and 1-3 adults helping with young folks is suggested.  
Some preparation and basic materials are required.

2 - 2 ½ hours depending on group size
Best for age 5 years +
