Recycled Paper Press in the Maker Shed

Making your own art paper is fun to do on the patio in summertime. Maker Shed carries the Recycled Paper Press Experiment Kit to get you started:

Recycle your scrap paper, old newspapers, and tissue paper into beautiful hand-crafted paper. Start with a slurry of paper pulp, drain it in the sieve tray, then press it flat with a special tool. Experiment with different paper fibers and add pigment tablets to change the color of your paper. Learn why recycling used materials into new ones is a crucial and growing practice around the world. Ages 8 and up. By Thames & Kosmos.
