This past week I traveled to New York City with my beau, Mark, to learn more about papermaking and urban green spaces. Success! We visited Dieu Donné, a paper studio where artists create work using handmade paper and are enabled by an outstanding crew of papermakers. I didn't take any pictures at Dieu Donné, sadly. But I did learn some great new pulp pigmenting and drying techniques from the lovely Amy Jacobs, DD's studio manager. After visiting DD we popped over to Brooklyn to see Carriage House Paper's studio and museum. The pictures above are of the museum: paper aardvark/elephant balloon, Korean floor paper, vegetable paper. Shannon showed us around the studio a bit and gave me some excellent advice on sculptural papermaking. Now I'm itching to get some flax pulp and start working in studio!
