contemporary papermaking at dieu donne, nyc

I have in my mind that one day… to print some of my photographs on my own handmade paper. Just how cool would that be?

So off I go to a paper making class…

If you ever want to learn to make your own paper then Dieu Donne is THE place to go in NYC. Fun was had during the three hour class as we donned our rubber boots and aprons, hogged our slurry and listened to the tunes of Lucinda Williams!

I could make paper all day long….hmm…perhaps a paper making studio in the garage in Arizona? Sounds like the perfect winter time activity in the desert to me!

Work in progress:

A sample of the finished product!

Pure bliss!
