In the 1400s, the invention of paper was as disruptive as “artificial intelligence” is today. Intrigued? Join us for “A History of Paper, from Pulp to Pixel,” by central Ohio papermaker, paperartist, bookmaker, and writer Ron Shaull. For more than 2,000 years, the world’s paper was made by hand — and Ron is one of the few papermakers who carry this tradition forward.
