ONSITE: Making Messes: Creative Writing Revision + Papermaking

Learn revision strategies for your writing and turn an old draft into handmade paper in this combination class that focuses on writing and papermaking skills. Leave with a revision plan, handmade paper, and a symbolic re-imagining of your work. On the first day we will be writing. The second day will be papermaking. Plan to bring a printed copy of a draft to the papermaking day!
