As an artist, teacher and papermaker, I have taught workshops for adults and children for the past 20 years.

I lead participants to understand the basic techniques of making paper from plant fibers. I offer several workshop alternatives or I can customize a workshop for the specific needs of a student or group. Workshops for small groups can be conducted in my mill studio in Richmond, Maine. For larger groups, I can travel to the location of your choice.
