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

This is labeled INTENSIVE due to the preparation, set-up and breakdown, and the simple yet structured process.  Working in small groups or pairs, participants rotate through a series of "centers" or chores.  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
