Paper of the Week: Twinrocker Handmade Paper
It’s been a whirlwind week with visits to my parents-in-law, dropping our daughter off at Augustana College, lecturing at the Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis and a trip to Dolphin Papers. A highlight was a visit to Twinrocker Handmade Paper, where I spent a few hours with the founders, Kathryn and Howard Clark, who will be featured on an upcoming episode of Paper Talk.

Out of The Studio: At Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis
I spent last Monday at the Herron School of Art and Design, where I got to see the exhibition, The Alchemy of Paper, featuring many friends and colleagues. I posted some videos on instagram, and this photo depicts the installation Twofold Path by Meda and Veda Rives.

Oh my goodness, there’s an anime series about bookbinding, and look! She’s making paper. It’s a story about a girl who loves books and ends up in a place where there aren’t any so she makes her own. I can’t wait to watch this.
Tasmanian artist Pam Thorne is making her own burial shroud out of knitted handmade. I like the idea of spending time creating something to reside in after life, plus natural burial sounds appealing.
Check it out! Robox is a fun and playful paper promotional piece produced by Boss Print and featured on Paper Specs.
This show of maps at the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, Texas looks amazing. These works on paper from the 1500’s are so delicate that they are only allowed to be put on display for nine months out of 10 years.
This large, watercolor map of Teozacoalco — made from 23 sheets of European paper pasted together — was created in 1580 by an unknown artist. The figures in the column on the left represent 10 generations of local rulers, the curator explains, including a series of footprints to indicate a marriage alliance with a neighboring town.

This is a lovely article about Ise Katagami stencils, the traditional paper stencils treated with persimmon juice that are used for dyeing cloth with intricate patterns and designs.

Oh my goodness… the maps!!! Thank you for so many yummy paper goodies this week.
Those maps are treasures, aren’t they?! Thanks for being such a faithful reader of The Sunday Paper, Gina.
Hi Helen, The next time you visit your daughter at Augustana College, I would be happy to show you the art gallery that I run which is less than 2 miles from campus. It’s a non-profit regional gallery that is part of a larger arts organization. I have some of my handmade paper work here. Also, just across the river, in Davenport is St. Ambrose University. They have a wonderful printmaking and papermaking program run by Joseph Lappie. We both attended one of your workshops in Iowa City a few years back.
