Celebrate pollinators and summer flowers with Mindy as she helps you make paper from recycled materials and flower petals.


Wednesday, June 19th / Sessions start at 10am Ages 3+

Cider Hill Farm, 45 Fern Ave, Amesbury, MA 01913


$5 per child / $10 family*

(*Please note participant names at purchase.)


Visit Cider Hill Farm and create recycled paper! The paper is made by blending old notes, shopping lists and junk mail to create new paper pulp. Participants add dried flowers to the prepared pulp and press them into fun shapes before taking home the new paper to dry. These unique sheets of handmade paper can be used for notes or gift tags, even a lovely seasonal decoration.


Event will be at the tented area in the Upper Courtyard at the front of the Farm store, rain or shine.


Workshops are broken into two 30-minute sessions to allow for individual attention and discussion about the paper-making process.


After the class, visit Cider Hill Farm's summer garden to cut-your-own flowers and make more paper at home. (DIY paper-making kits will be available for purchase after class.)

How to make handmade paper:
• Gather used paper scraps and rip into small pieces, soak in water.
• Place soaked paper and water in a blender to make a smooth pulp.
• Pour through a mold and deckle.
• Carefully press out excess water with a sponge.
• Repeat multiple times, compressing the fibers and creating a new sheet of paper.
• Allow to dry before using.
