Richard Flavin grew up in the Boston area and passed away in Tokyo, Japan in 2020, where he was a papermaker and printmaker. He and his wife ran Sind Gallery, where they showed her textile work and his prints and paper works. I was able to visit and interview Flavin in Tokyo at the gallery in December of 2019. Here are a few of Richard’s pieces that were hanging in the gallery.
I didn’t get to see Richard’s papermaking studio (Jionji Press) is in Saitama Prefecture, but he sent me these photos of his papered floors and kitchen cabinets.

Gary is also the Deckle in Pulp & Deckle, a Portland-based community hand papermaking studio.
