Yeah, so… I also like cocktails. When I first moved to NYC in 2001, I went to bartending school because I couldn’t find a job. Now, I use my skillz to represent at academic conferences that I otherwise couldn’t attend. Thanks for voting for me, CBAA!

How can paper become an integral part of your book? Moving beyond paper as a simple substrate for text and image, this workshop will explore how to use paper as a fundamental component of your book’s content and narrative. We will experiment with pulp painting techniques and inclusions in handmade paper, as well as different techniques to add texture and color to dry paper, both commercial and handmade.
