About The Event

We invite you to the Community Arts Center for a Family FUNday to immerse yourself in the specialized craft of papermaking! Participants make their own colorful sheets of paper from organic fibers. Come learn and create one of history’s oldest writing materials! This workshop is open to people of all ages and artistic abilities. All materials are provided and are nontoxic. 

Multidisciplinary Italian artist Claudio Orso leads participants in this exciting papermaking workshop. Claudio has exhibited his prints in the US and internationally, and his masks and floats have been featured in the CMA’s Parade the Circle and in Oberlin’s Big Parade. Claudio has worked as an independent art teacher for the past 25 years, contributing to programs by Oberlin College, the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning, and the Broadway School of Music and the Arts. He’s received grants from the Ohio Arts Council, and he was one of the first two artists rewarded by the National Endowment for the Arts to be working at the Morgan Art of Papermaking Conservatory.
