Newness

At last ... it took a while

The new edition of 'Pressed', a magazine for handmade papermakers, users of handmade paper and for those interested in using the medium for their arts practice.

For this edition I have chosen to share the work of several book artists who have chosen to make handmade paper an integral element in their book arts practice. Each artists uses a different aspect or technique: showing that this diverse mediums’ processes allow for infinite experimentation with different fibres, colouration techniques, inclusions and fibre manipulations, which in-turn, enable a combination of context with materiality in their work.
I also write about my current papermaking research and describe a five day 
workshop for papermaking book artists.
Also.....it includes four types of handmade paper samples tipped in!
