Paper’s (re)Purpose

August-June

We use paper in countless ways each day – from writing a note to drying our hands. The amount of paper we use leads to large quantities of paper waste sent to landfills or recycled and never seen again. In this program, we explore sustainability by repurposing scraps into new paper that can be used in artistic practice. This hands-on experience encourages students to learn new skills and make sustainable choices. This program is ideal for students ages 9 and up. All multigrade program offerings will be supported by grade-level appropriate standards, available to share upon request.

Vocabulary:

recycling, sustainability, purpose, mould & deckle, texture
