Making Paper

Sugar Loaf Craft Fair

I looked and looked for a papermaking screen at JoAnn's and Michael's, but neither of them carry papermaking supplies of any kind anymore. So I bought two plastic embroidery hoops and a sheet of moldable metal mesh. The one hoop holds the mesh and one piece of the other hoop is the top frame.

JMU MFA and English grad students learned how to make paper with graphic design

professor Dawn McCusker.

In my basement. My work table is an old door balancing on 3 pallets. they were in the basement when i moved in.lol
