Group Tours

To schedule a School/Group Tour, email Hannah Katz, Grants & Education Manager, at hkatz@dieudonne.org. We offer tailored tours for students, with an emphasis on serving undergraduate and graduate level students of fine arts and art history.

Due to limited studio capacity, we are not currently offering private papermaking workshops to school groups.

Every student was able to participate, be successful, and be 100% engaged in the creative process.

This was amazing. I really enjoyed understanding the materiality of paper first-hand and learning a bit about the process. I absolutely loved getting to make something (and feel productive) during the two-weeks (rather than primarily in-taking information), and it was incredible to see the processes of papermaking and then getting to see (and feel!) the final product. . . It was a rare opportunity and I’m so grateful to have had it!

Dieu Donné offers a variety of unique hands-on educational opportunities for adults and children that can be held on-site in our studio or at off-site locations. Educational programs are adaptable for various age groups and circumstances, including school field trips, professional development, community organizations, and more.  

Participants learn about the papermaking process—from the history of papermaking to the role handmade paper plays in the contemporary arts—and experiment with creative techniques to create original works of art. Our tactile programs, taught by working artists and educators, provide access to a rare and venerable artistic medium, and give participants an opportunity to experience a complete cycle of creation, from pulp to final project. Programs range from introductory classes to follow-up workshops in specialized techniques.
