Papermakers of Victoria Book of Handmade Paper 2025- Participation Open Now!
It has been a few years since we have made a collaborative book. This year we would like to make a book of handmade paper samples. You will have to make an a5 sheet for each participant plus 2 (one for yourself and one for the archive). Each sheet should also have an additional a6 plan page with explanation of the source of the paper and method used. There will be a papermaking day at the stables early September for anyone who would like to come along to make their sheet. Papers should be delivered by end of September and there will be a stitching day in October to compile the books.
Anne Gason and Moira Styles are facilitating this project so if you would like to participate please contact them. The papers will also be sent/ given to them for compiling. If you have any questions please let them know. There will also be example books to look at in Aprils meeting.
