papermaking

THE NAME ARNOLD GRUMMER is virtually synonymous with papermak-ing. Formerly on the faculty of the Institute of Paper Chemistry, Grummer has taught the magic of papermaking to such likely students as preschoolers, printers, and artists, but also to fo-rensic scientists, corporate executives, and others. He lectures around the United States and Canada

and has made numerous television appearances.

the ultimate green craftRecycle and Reuse!

Junk mail, food labels, newspapers, catalogs,

magazines . . . Trash-to-Treasure Papermaking

shows crafters just how fun and easy it is to turn

that household pile into intriguing new papers.

They’ll even learn how to incorporate extra bits

of fabric, thread, and ribbon from the sewing

basket. Or leaves and grass clippings that were

bound for the compost pile. The needed equip-

ment, too, can be found in the recycling bin or

around the house. And then there are the 40-

plus projects that showcase handcrafted paper—

Christmas ornaments, coasters, mobiles, animals,

garlands, gift wrap, books, lampshades, and

more. All of which can someday be recycled into

new projects. Recycle, reuse, recycle, reuse . . .
