Paper Making Demonstration

Drop by during Connecticut Open House Day to see how paper can be made from invasive plants and weeds! Local artist Britt Garth will share more about the extensive process, from finding and harvesting plants to drying finished sheets of paper, and demonstrate a few of the steps. Visitors will be able to touch and feel the materials and tools for paper-making. Be sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet and messy! 

Free with Museum Admission. Donations welcome.

Britt Garth is a self-taught independent artist who has been studying the ways of making art with natural materials for the last 6 years, focusing specifically on invasive plants and noxious weeds. They have taught similar workshops in New Haven and Fairfield Counties, offer online courses and have been invited to demonstrate their craft at other arts and maker events.
