papermaking
International Biennial of Paper and Fiber Arts 2015 Water - Fiber - Paper - Metamorphosis
I'm excited to have my work shown alongside many other wonderful artists and IAPMA members in this exhibition, which opens this week at New Brewery Arts in Cirencester, UK and continues through May. Plans are in the works for the exhibition to travel internationally after this show...stay tuned!
Great fun with my Paper + Dye class this year at Women's Studio Workshop...
Washi Sokan is a compendium of over a thousand paper samples, with explanatory texts, in twelve volumes. Each volume is in its own slipcase, and the whole collection is in two boxes. With essays by the leading experts on washi (Japanese paper), and a description of each paper by the maker, the collection shows the range of high-quality papers made in Japan today. I worked on the English translation for many years, and am so glad to see it finding its way to libraries and special collections in the West.
