Making the Perfect Paper

When the perfect paper* for your folded art does not exist, why not make it? Hand papermaking studios are not uncommon, but few have worked with paper folding artists. Having held dozens of special sessions with origami artists, Richard Alexander will discuss the expectations, realities, costs, questions (and answers) that will help you guide the dialogue between you, the folding artist, and your local paper maker. *= strong, archival, of the right size, thickness, color and texture. Lecture or presentation of a paper, with minimal demonstration and no class participation.
