The Invasive Paper Project
Paper-making Workshop with the Student Conservation Association
A paper-making workshop with youth at my studio
2014
I partnered with the Student Conservation Association of Detroit www.thesca.org/serve/program/detroit-mi this spring and summer to help learn about how to safely and properly remove invasive species. The SCA is a program that employs youth to help maintain and improve park and green spaces while also focusing on leadership and personal development. In return for their guidance, they came to my studio to learn about the paper-making process from start to finish. They were able to make their own sheets from the same invasive plants that they had removed from the trails they had been maintaining all summer.
