If you aren't already trained to use our paper beaters, here is your opportunity!
Through hands-on training you will learn the capabilities of each aspect of MCBA's paper beaters, and how to use them safely and effectively. Completion of this training will allow you to rent this equipment and use it independently.

Pricing
$15 | $8 Scholarship | $23 Pay-It-Forward
MCBA members receive a 10% discount on tuition.
Scholarships are available for individuals facing adversity as it relates to identity, income/wealth, and lack of access to arts resources. The Pay-It-Forward rate (tuition, plus 50%) supports MCBA’s efforts to make scholarships available. We leave it to you to choose the rate that is meaningful to you based on your income, wealth, and privilege status.
Experience Required
Paper Beater training is designed for those who have experience with sheet formation and paper drying methods, but lack training in processing fiber in a beater (or are new to MCBA’s papermaking equipment). Training on MCBA’s paper beaters is necessary before working independently in Papermaking Lab. If you have questions about your experience level, please email studios@mnbookarts.org prior to registration. If you need training, please see information on our one-to-one tutorials.
Registration closes 24 hours in advance. Instructions on how to enter MCBA for Studio Lab will be sent in a confirmation email once registration is complete.
