Paper Plains is an interactive experience for participants of all ages and abilities in papermaking and native prairie planting.
Paper Plains invites the community to create paper from regionally-harvested, invasive plants. It is an interactive experience in papermaking and native prairie planting. Workshop leaders demonstrate techniques to participants and engage in a dialogue about the history of invasive plants in Minnesota. Tools in this mobile art studio are adaptable for people of all ages and abilities. The paper that participants make is unique, embedded with native prairie seeds, and carries a little piece of the Great Plains. Whether it hangs on the fridge or gets planted in the garden, handmade paper will grow the arts in your community.
This unique experience will take place at the Murray County Fair on Thursday, August 15 from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. The activity is free and available for both children and adults. The activity will be set up near Heritage Hall on the Murray County Fairgrounds. This event is sponsored by the Slayton Public Library.
This project is funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage fund.
