Learn to create your own paper with polypore mushrooms, a non-toxic, plentiful and easy-to-find mushroom. On Saturday we’ll learn how to find these polypores and create several sizes of paper. On Sunday we’ll finish our paper and make ink out of walnuts. Plan to go home with a stack of art paper and a bottle of ink! If time allows we’ll make a quill pen as well.
