Here's #CreativeUtah challenge no. 4. Take a piece of paper and ... do something with it. You can draw on it, write all over it, stain it, tear it, etc. It may seem like "just a piece of paper," but for Marnie Powers-Torrey of the University of Utah's Book Arts Program, it's much, much more. Doug sat down with her to ask what she loves about paper, and how you can create with it.
Share a picture of your work on social media with the hashtag #CreativeUtah. Or, email it to us at radiowest@kuer.org and we'll post it for you.
