About Paperworks
Tour the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking to discover how papermaking has changed over time. Explore everything from papyrus to molds and deckles. The Paperworks tour is a 1 hour program, and the Paperworks Tour & Hands-on Workshop is a 1 hour 30 min program. The tour & Hands-on Workshop consists of a 45 min tour and a 45 min papermaking activity. The Paperworks tour covers the history of paper from the earliest examples of writing materials to the Chinese discovery of how to make paper, to the paper mills of Europe. Then participants will make their own piece of paper to take home in an exciting hands-on workshop.
