About
Japanese papermaking is an ancient art cultivated over 1,300 years ago and is one of the Morgan’s specialties. In this two-day workshop, you will learn how to create beautiful sheets of washi through both traditional and non-traditional processes of making Japanese paper from start to finish. Using kozo grown in the Morgan’s garden, you will learn how to scrape the bark, cook, and beat the fibers to form strong, translucent sheets of paper. No prior experience is required.
