Hello everyone
This is what I have been doing.
I spent a delightful day in David Hobday's Studio
making a clay boat which will be a mould in which to cast some paper boats.
I will show you the results in the next newsletter.
You too can enjoy David's studio at his workshops. https://www.davidhobday.com/
Another delightful day was when Aimee Lee a world renowned paper artist from America joined Gail Stiffe and me to make paper from Kangaroo grass. Thankyou Cecilia Sharpley for not only giving me some Kangaroo grass but some plants as well for my garden.
I running one of these workshops at my studio here in Box Hill, and two papermaking workshops
at Bundoora for the Papermakers of Victoria

PAPERMAKING FOR A PURPOSE
Tutor: Barb Adams
9th September 2018 at Bundoora
Handmade paper can vary greatly. For a handmade paper project to be a success it is helpful to know which paper you should make. This workshop will concentrate on making a variety of pulps which will be made into sample sheets.
You will learn how to make paper suitable for book pages of different shapes and sizes or pages with pockets included when you form the wet pages. Recipes will be provided for pulp making suitable for cards, strong paper for casting, paper into which other items can be included or paper suitable to print photos or text onto.You will take home a book you have made, in which you can store your specific paper pulp recipes and samples of your handmade paper.
While you are at http://papermakers.org.au/workshops/ have look at the other great workshops available.
