Paper Think Tank, housed within the Brandywine Workshop and Archives, is a community accessible hand papermaking studio committed to the creation of paper, artistic collaborations, and the advancement of the paper, print, and book communities within the city.

Dedicated to sustainability, Paper Think Tank produces handmade paper and books using locally sourced invasive plants and renewable materials. Our offerings include classes and workshops that delve into the art of sheet production and explore the creative applications of paper and paper pulp to make original paper artworks, as well as studio access for artists interested in working with paper. The overarching objective of Paper Think Tank is to strengthen the hand papermaking community in Philadelphia and bring greater visibility to an underrecognized art form.
