Community members join Independence Community College Director of Visual Arts Emily Ritter for a paper making workshop offered through Indy Connect. Those in attendance learned how to create sheets of paper from scrap paper or junk mail.

Ritter says DIY paper making is a great way to turn all your junk mail into new paper, trash to treasure. Participants were guided through paper making, which included blending, creating pulp and forming sheets. This process can also be used to make pulp art.
