Paul put up the tarp and all but one of the

Everyone pulled and mixed and experimented with the various fibers and there was paper
pressing and drying everywhere. Movie: 1.4Kb/15 seconds |

Cris, Kathy and Sunni took a quick mold and
deckle manufacturing lesson from Kristy and then proceeded to make their new tools. Sunni

keep the screen in contact with the epoxy until it set up. Lisa peeked in on the
proceedings. Movie: 1.4Kb/15 seconds |

Sharon, in blue denim and her daughter,
Shannon - in white - demonstrated how to mix kozo/gampi pulps into the vat with synthetic
Neri and then showed her pseudo-su method of pulling sheets. The kozo/gampi sheets are
then pressed to a board and set in the shade so they dry slowly and stay flat. Note: The
kozo/gampi mix has very little shrinkage, is a very strong paper and can be pulled very
thin. Movie:
