Popping Up From Down Under

The Sunday Paper #523

September 15, 2024

Hi Everyone!

I’m popping in from down under (Melbourne) with a few timely items (but no official Sunday Paper).

I’m at a lovely weekend paper retreat with a group of women, organized by my hostess, Gail Stiffe. I know Gail from the 2010’s, when we served together on the board of the International Association of Papermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA).

Gail and her husband Mike go to the gym most mornings, so I’ve been able to go along and swim. If you’re a swimmer, you’ll know about circling – I have to circle in the other direction, but so far so good, I haven’t caused any accidents!

So, onto the news. I’m delighted to be hosting a free workshop on Zoom when The Paper Year opens for registration again on 9/30. We’ll make this single-sheet lantern, and you can register here. You’ll find a supply list at that link, too.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Paul Denhoed on Episode #129 of Paper Talk. Paul is a paper researcher and papermaker, originally from Toronto, Canada. After receiving a Japanese Government Scholarship to study Japanese hand papermaking, he has been living and working in Japan for more than 20 years. Paul is offering workshops in collaboration with Oguni Washi, and the next 6-day Oguni Washi Intensive Japanese Papermaking Workshop will take place October 27 – November 2, 2024.

I’ll be back with the regularly scheduled Sunday Paper in a couple of weeks.
