Papermaking was our first project to open our new
Makerspace at Rochester (MN) Public Library. We now have a dedicated, windowed room with tables and chairs to promote the Maker movement.
For 3 hours a day for 5 days, with 100 people, we ultimately made 400 sheets of paper.
I set up 4 paper stations - 3 for making 8 x 10 blue sheets for our project, 1 for making small cookie cutter shapes for people to take home.

| We ordered aprons for use in the Makerspace |
We used
Arnold Grummer large pour handmolds. They held up well and worked great for lots of people and lots of use.
