Peace Paper Workshop at Texas Tech University
Co-hosted by Texas Tech University Military and Veterans Programs, Texas Tech University Women's Studies Program, Texas Tech University School of Art, and Museum of Texas Tech University.

Peace Paper Project, led by Drew Matott and Margaret Mahan, will present papermaking workshops in the Helen DeVitt Jones Sculpture Court at The Museum of Texas Tech University, 3301 4th Street, from Monday, November 17 through Thursday, November 20. The series will end with a lecture and display of works on Thursday, November 20, at 5:00 p.m. in the Sculpture Court.

Peace Paper Project utilizes traditional hand papermaking as a means of engaging communities in art practices which bring people together, broadcast their stories, and transform their fibers into meaningful art pieces.
  • Military Veterans are invited to bring their old or unserviceable uniforms to cut, pulp, and reform into sheets of paper. If you no longer have your uniforms, there will be pre-pulped uniforms from each branch of service available to be transformed into paper.
  • Panty Pulping is a public intervention by Peace Paper Project that calls an end to sexual and domestic violence in all forms. Panty Pulping is literally the transformation of underwear into paper art as a means of addressing the unmentionable. This workshop promotes consent, non-violence, and creative expressions of resilience through hand papermaking.
