Papermaking Workshop

"Hey, you!

Ever wanted to make your own paper?
Yes? We've got just the thing for you.
No? Well, you should!

Miss Kristina Lyons is joining us to host a workshop during which you can not only learn how to recycle bits and odds into sheets of paper - but also transform scraps and little items into veritable works of art and sincere-looking, heartfelt stationary. Cute and practical.

Seriously, it's fun."

Colin Robertson, Curator of Education, discusses Watkins’ striking 1860s Yosemite photographs—they helped to pave the way for the 1864 Yosemite Land Grant and the future Yosemite National Park—and the tragedies that befell him at the end of his life.

These half-hour dialogues invite guests to experience an informal and intimate introduction to works in the galleries."
