Papermaking and Picasso
Artist in the Atrium

Artist: The Morgan Conservatory
Ames Family Atrium
About The Event
Every third Saturday of each month, stop by the Ames Family Atrium between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to get a firsthand look at the art-making process. Each session provides the opportunity to engage and interact with a different Northeast Ohio maker during pop-up demonstrations and activities. See their work unfold and learn how artists create. Explore a related selection of authentic objects from the CMA’s Education Art Collection in a pop-up Art Up Close session. See, think, and wonder.
Join the Morgan Conservatory for an introduction to papermaking. In connection with the exhibition Picasso and Paper, learn the basics of fiber processing, sheet formation, and studio tools through hands-on demos. Leave with your own handmade paper—no experience needed!
The Morgan Conservatory is a 501(c)3 nonprofit institution and the largest arts center in the United States dedicated to every facet of papermaking, book arts, and letterpress printing and to cultivating the talents of established and emerging artists.
