How To Make Paper »

The Exchange of Knowledge

I hope you all had a good Christmas. Mine was nice and the weather held for both travel and the side excursion for paper making. All in all, a nice getaway.

I will go into greater detail (with loads of photos) of my paper making lesson in a day or so. But for today, you’ll have to settle for just a couple of candid shots.

The two things that surprised me about paper making:

  • It’s easier than I thought. (though Connie had everything set up and explained things so well, she probably made it seem easier than it actually is.)

  • It’s rather physically demanding. (Or at least after making 100 sheets, I pretty much collapsed into bed.)

    • The above photo is my husband Mike, (looking very cute) whilst stirring pulp.

    The photo to the right here, is of course me, (looking kinda haggard. Urm . . . I mean focused. Yeah . . . focused) while pressing out a fresh sheet of paper.

    And this last photo here is of Connie Herring, our paper making teacher (of the infinite patience.)

    We had a little information exchange over the weekend. She showed us how to make paper. And we showed her how to play Ninetendo DS. It’s a thing of beauty when artists come together and share their knowledge.
