During the workshop, Nancy will lead students in creating several sheets of colored paper from kudzu leaves. Pre-dried kudzu paper will also be supplied for students to create their own paper collage. Students should wear old clothes they do not mind getting dye on. Rit Dye is used to color the paper.
