I have been making handmade paper for twenty years.

I love mixing the palette of paper pulp; it's one part science,
one part cooking! Last week I had the opportunity to work at an incredible
private papermaking studio in Sedona. We prepared cotton and abaca
fiber for paper casting and pulp painting. The paper is cast in a large
vacuum table that is filled with water to suspend the pulp. An artist can cast
thick, dimensional paper pieces that are very sculptural. Using squeeze
bottles filled with pigmented, overbeaten pulp fiber, an artist can pulp
paint and draw images and designs with paper! It is so much
Twinrocker and Carriage House.
I have always wanted to make paper. And you were in Sedona?? I'm in Tucson....
