Come for the morning and/or the afternoon!

UI Oakdale Campus
2280 Crosspark Rd., Coralville

On Friday, November 14th, we will have our annual kozo harvest out at the Oakdale paper research facility! We have a field of kozo to harvest, steam, and peel. You'll learn a lot about processing bark fibers in traditional ways.

We will be harvesting in the morning, from 9:30 a.m., and will then move to the studio to steam the bark and peel the bark before hanging them in bundles on rope. We will finish up at 4:30 p.m. You can come and go.

Bring your lunch if you are planning to work all day. There will be a lunch break from around noon to 1-ish.
