Papermaking

Next week is Spring Break and I'm going to San Antonio to teach a letterpress class at the San Antonio School of Art.  I'm also going to take advantage of their fantastic paper making studio.  I started making paper for the thesis project over Christmas break and now I'm going to make more.  I figure that I'll need to make 980 pieces of 8 x 10 paper in order to make an edition of 45 books.  I'm using a mix of cotton rag, cotton linter, abaca and uniform.  It make a great beige paper.
