About This Project

The Papermaker’s Garden features a variety of plants grown to be used as paper making fiber and art material in the Center for Book & Paper studios. This garden supports deep hands on engagement with the process of fiber production as well contemporary ideas in interdisciplinary practice related to art, science, the environment and social practice. Founded and programmed by students, faculty, and staff in the Graduate Program in Interdisciplinary Book and Paper Arts, the Papermaker’s Garden is also a space for collaborative, cross-disciplinary educational opportunities and site-specific art projects. The Papermaker’s Garden opened in June 2012 and was expanded and redesigned in 2013.
