𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 📍 Location: Northern Rhode Island Conservation District, Johnston, RI 🗓 Date: October 2026 When looking for workshops to do this past weekend, I came across this paper making one by @nricd . The unique thing was that it focused on using invasive plants to make the paper, which I thought was a cool concept, so I signed up. The instructors had set up different stations, and we were divided into groups. The first station was going through the invasive plants that had been removed the day before and picking out the leaves. It was mainly mugwort, which apparently can give you vivid dreams. Then, the leaves were cooked with soda ash, which helps break down the non-cellulose components. After that, we used wooden sticks to pound the leaves and help break down the plant fibers. Next, we blended them with a bit of water, creating the pulp that would be used to make the paper. At the paper making station, there were big tubs filled with water, to which we added the plant pulp and some recycled paper pulp. Then we used mesh screens to collect the floating particles, which is what gets turned into paper. The trick is to agitate the water before “pulling” with the screen, and to do so towards you and straight up so that the paper comes out even. We also added some okra water to help everything stay suspended. Once the screen looked good, you turned it over and placed the pulp onto a sheet of cotton. Then you dabbed it with a sponge to soak up any remaining water and help the paper release. You slowly pulled the screen from one side to the other and, just like that, you had a piece of paper made from plants! We finished by hanging all of our sheets up to dry, and it was cool to see how different plants created different colors and textures of paper. The instructor also showed us her personal collection of papers she had made from all kinds of plants, which was pretty neat. Overall, it was an interesting class! While I’m not sure you can really write on the paper, it would make a cute background for a picture frame. If you get the chance to try paper making, I would definitely recommend it! #papermaking #thingstodoinrhodeisland

What a gift it is to learn from our community💛 We joined Vic, Katelyn and MJ for their 2-day papermaking workshop. We learned so much and really appreciated being reminded how much we love and miss being in nature. In their words, "In this workshop, we will be creating paper with invasive plant material removed from Lawton Farm, a wetland and meadow site taken care of by Scituate Land Trust. Papermaking is a communal labor, and this workshop will bring people together to deepen relationships to plants, craft, and each other. Instead of seeing these invasive plants as problems or resources to exploit, we will explore how acts of use can become forms of care, opportunities to deepen understanding, and more thoughtful ways of managing them. Expect plant walks in which we’ll share histories of use and migration, plant removal and harvesting, and hands-on processing of the plants for paper-making." It is so beautiful to see the intersections of our communities come together. Really looking forward to seeing more from these amazing artists!

En este taller, fabricamos papel usando plantas invasoras cosechadas en Lawton Farm, una humedal y pradera cuidado por el Fideicomiso de Tierras Scituate. El elaboración de papel es una labor comunal, y en este taller unimos la gente para profundizar las relaciones entre plantas, la práctica, y nosotros mismos. En lugar de considerar que estas plantas invasoras son problemas o recursos para explotar, exploremos cómo el acto de usarlas es una forma de cuidar el territorio, oportunidades para profundizar el conocimiento, y maneras más consideradas para manejarlas. Pueden esperar paseos botánicos en que compartimos las historias del uso y migración de las plantas, sus cosecha y extirpación, y el tratamiento de plantas para la fabricación de papel a mano.

🪷 Presenting Experience Chinatown 2026 mural: “Life Cycles in the Lotus” by Katelyn Lipton @jialipton located at Utile @utile_design at 115 Kingston St, Boston. This year, the muralists responded to the prompt, “What makes Chinatown abundant?” 🪷 Katelyn writes, “The lotus flower is a symbol of resilience. A beautiful weaving of the past, present, and future, all phases of a lotus’s life cycle are on display above the water. Blushing buds hold potential before blooming into full flowers, and they stand tall next to seed pods that hold the power to create new generations. Seeds fall back into the water, planting in the mud to start the cycle again. Children play at the gate beside elders, and the intergenerationality of Chinatown makes it feel abundant with life. This mural honors early immigrants who came before us, surviving exclusionary laws and displacement to establish roots in Chinatown. They planted seeds for future generations to bloom, and new buds are still emerging.” Experience Chinatown is where you can discover a new take on Asian American Cultures. See, hear, create, and connect. Together, celebrate the rich cultural fabric of Boston Chinatown through free creative activities for all. #ExperienceChinatown Live performances and activities: Saturday, September 26 from 11-3 PM (Rain date Sunday, 9/27). Murals on view now through October 18! For more information and event updates, visit our festival website through the link in our bio. Photos by Mel Taing @m.ltaing

Hanji! Ahhhhh I just got back home in Madison and am so excited to start playing with the paper made in @hendersonpaperandbook’s class @penlandschool! I really can’t state enough how this amazing and special learning this process was with wonderful people, and I know it’s going to make its way into my work in a big way. This process is very labor intensive and beautiful. I learned techniques that I’ll continue to use, but I also learned about Korean craft/culture. As an adoptee, the whole process holds a lot of meaning to me. Thank you again @uw_artdept and Penland for supporting me with a partner scholarship! I am so appreciative and will be using all I learned in the pursuit of my MFA/practice. #hanji #handmadepaper #craft #penland #korean

I just spent the last 2 weeks at @penlandschool ! I took a mokuhanga workshop where I had the privilege of learning from the lovely Yoonmi Nam and had the best class experience ever where we all grew into a moku-family. I went into Penland expecting to lock in and learn to make mokuhangas, but I came out with so much more than that. Not only did I learn a new craft, but I felt like I learned a lot about myself, healed in ways I didn’t expect, and made so many friendships that I know will last forever. I’m so grateful to have had this life changing experience being in the mountains with all of these amazing artists and incredible people I now get to call friends 🫂 I love you and will miss you all 🧡 🌿🦋🪶🌾🪷💫🍒🪲🤏🗻💖

We’re excited to kick off the first phase of bringing the work of 18 Contemporary Artists to Providence’s Riverwalk! This series features ceramic tile and mural installations around the Riverwalk, Produced by Chroma Council and Curated by Linsey Wallace. “Listen To The River” by Artist Quinn Corey is an expansive mural spanning two blocks along Memorial Blvd. In Downtown Providence. The murals serve as a window to the river that is concealed behind concrete walls, reconnecting the street level and passersby with the water via color and pattern. Over the course of this week a rotating crew of 10 different painters worked alongside the artist to complete this project. Thank you to all of their hard work for helping to finish this looong mural! Thank you to @pvdparks for making this project a reality! @quinntronix @linsey_wallace @jbfireworks @lionpawlilly Patcharee Phomsouvannady @togetherwecreate_pvd @argotday @lauraganci @_._._bank_._._ @toycamera__ @_gregwashere_ @jialipton #providence #rhodeisland #publicart #art
