We will make lots of papers so come prepared to have a great time. This can be a messy process.

or
½ or full sheet of unused paper. Does not have to be 140 lb, it can be drawing paper

For Gelli Printing:
A variety of papers. My favorite is printer paper. Others: rice paper, deli paper, parchment paper, thin watercolor paper, drawing paper, newsprint, old mail (even junk mail and catalogues), old letters, old book or music manuscript paper, wet strength tissue paper (another favorite). This is a chance to use up some old papers laying around.
