Back from a great week of making paper and teaching letterpress at The Southwest School of Art. On Monday I beat the fiber I'd brought with me from Alabama and Tuesday was an all day event of paper making. It took a total of 6 hours to beat all of the fiber and then all of the next day to make the paper. The paper turned out a nice oatmeal color with flecks of DCU/ABU in them. In total I made 141 sheets of 9 x 14 paper.
