To enhance our school-wide investigations of Egypt, we began paper making with the students. Amy, our fabulous clay teacher and artist in residence, facilitated much of the process. Here is a window onto how it all happens:
We began with mixing cotton pulp (made from cotton tee shirts, supplied by Ray Tamasso) in a large shallow vat.




When we no longer heard it draining, we flipped the screen over onto felt.





Every class will have the opportunity to make paper on Mondays throughout January
