Teaching Hand Papermaking
The art of hand papermaking fits well into any curriculum and school. The magic of bringing together tiny bits of plant fiver to form a sheet of paper is exciting and empowering to children of all ages. All students, regardless of age or ability can participate in the papermaking process. Even students who lack confidence in the art classroom because they do not draw as well as they would like are entranced by this process and feel great satisfaction in being able to make a piece of paper. Through learning and teaching this craft, educators can address many of today's concerns, such as environment, implemented by making recycled paper. In addition, when studying other cultures' methods for making paper, students learn that the basic process of making paper is the same everywhere, although each culture has its special tools and techniques - a wonderful analogy to life. Integration with the core curriculum is a natural for papermaking. Good papermakers must have a basic understanding of many scientific concepts, as well as a mastery of several mathematical skills. The history of papermaking is a fascinating one. And, of course, reading and writing are always accompanied by paper! Papermaking is a gentle craft. There are no toxic fumes and clothing will not get stained. Granted, there is a fair amount of water involved, but water evaporates!
